Burning Oil?

Recently saw a 370z review on Yahoo Autos stating that a new 370z was burning oil at a rate of 1.5 quarts every 1000 miles. Anyone notice their Z burning any oil at all?

Where's the review so we can refute that claim?

It is currently on autos.yahoo.com under "User Reviews" for the Nissan 370Z.

It is a user review on yahoo auto, here is the review:

Pros
Looks Nice has more of the original look to it.
Cons
Mine seems to be burning oil

Purchased As New

The car drives fine and handles great I love it. It also uses about a 1.5 qts every 1k miles. My dealership is not helpful. I dont think mine feels like 300+ hp either. I love the car though I hope it will be ok. :)

At 1400 miles I added 1/2 quart. No issue as far as I'm concerned.

How many miles have you driven since the original 1400? And, has the oil level changed since you added the 1/2 quart?
