A lot of people (including myself), would have looked at a number of other vehicles had they known this one has these kinds of issues.
Some people on here say it's not a big deal - maybe it isn't to THEM...and I think those people are very, very few...
And to those who say "just sell it" - sure, and take what, a $10,000 loss - are you serious?

I don't believe this engine has any issue with regard to oil consumption. All cars will consume oil at some rate, and high compression engines that are driven hard have a good chance of doing it more than others. I haven't seen any real evidence that our car has any abnormal problem with it though. On all cars, checking the oil level on a regular basis is just part and parcel of normal preventative maintenance. There's nothing wrong with the car in this respect.
