^Yay I'm excited to hear it! I hope to be in an 07 by the summer. Those of you that have cleared break-in get on it a little to make sure there is no consumption at all.

After I changed my oil @ 1,200 I changed it...I have driven the car a little harder and still no consumption issues yet. The engine is supposed to have better seats and rings so hopefully the oil issue is taken care of.

Guys don't worry about oil consumption for the first few thousand miles; that is normal (as manual will tell you as well) while the cylinders get conditioned. Just keep an eye on it and top off as necessary. If it continues to happen, and that too, at an excessive rate, only then you have a problem.
I think too many people start panicking without realizing that their cars are brand new and some consumption is to be expected.
