Doesn't sound like you have
Doesn't sound like you have the issues that others are having. Lucky for you. For the those that do have the issue, will it get worse? Will costly engine repairs be required after the engine is out of waranty? Or is it just a long term inconvenience? I've had cars with oil pan leaks that held oil better than the Outbacks. Many buy cars for safety, ease of use and reliability. Cars that burn excess oil could, arguably, classify as none of those three.
