Well... my car is in for a service on monday and ill get Alex to check the oil level, ive not put a drop in mine since the last service 10,000 miles ago.
Its funny, some do some don't. My first GTI would use a fair bit, but the ED30 and S3 which both I got new did/have never used any oil. Could be down to the running in procedure???? or lack of it
I have had several brand new cars over the years - Golf GTi 16v, Cosworths, Scooby sti's, Honda type R's, lotus Elise etc. I never ran them in for more than 100 miles and none of them used an appreciable amount of oil.
A pal of mines Nissan saloon thing is driven like miss daisy on a fuel economy run and uses a liter every 1200 miles. Must be like a 2 stroke!
