They go through oil and fuel like no-bodys buisness.
My director had one and says that bollox though! Oil 1 liter a quarter and petrol depends how u drive it !
Tbh most Japanese cars seem to be that bit more oil thirsty... hardly the end of the world eh as long as you keep an eye on it (As I forgot to do on my CTR until it was almost empty )
Make sure you get some good pics up dude

Nice car 
Sadly I've heard the Oil issue is a big concern as my boss at work currently has one which he is trading in for an S5 after only owning it for 3 months
