2012 Subaru Impreza Oil Usage - Is it a generic design flaw

Totally agree with VDCdriver, but I would add that for the brisk acceleration, you need to be going just fast enough to be in high gear and push the pedal down moderately fast but not fast enough or far enough to cause it to downshift. If it downshifts, it defeats the purpose of loading up the rings.

It works so much better with a manual transmission. Ten of these done right should seat the rings.
