Well, yes and no. Prii (the plural of Prius, according to Toyota) of certain vintages do have an issue with oil consumption but usually well after 100k and about a quart in 1,200 miles or somewhat more. In other words, yes, a problem but normally not exactly a calamity if you check the oil regularly.
