For the first 25K-30k miles, I had to add a quart between oil changes. I'm now at 44k, and don't have to anymore.

Issues I've had:

Rack and pinion seeping PS fluid (one of the bellows on the end was wet); whole assembly including tie rod ends was replaced under warranty.
Upper radiator hose seeping at radiator; wasn't wet; just some weird stuff growing at the site. Hose replaced under warrenty.
Rear hatch not opening on first try; new springs installed per TSB
Volume control and A/C temp control had erratic operation; sometimes turning down the volume would have the opposite effect; panel replaced under warranty.

All of these issues were taken care of before the car reached 36k miles, in one visit to the dealership. The rack and pinion issue started early on; the others happened a year or two into ownership. I just kept a running list of issues and made a point of "taking it in", before the warranty expired. I have had no issues since then.
