05 1.6 vvti Auto Oil consumption. - Desmond

I am considering buying a 2005 Corolla 1.6 VVTi Auto but I am concerned at some reports I have heard that these VVTi engines tend to develop heavy oil consumption at about 40K miles.

As a result of some customers complaining of using 1Ltr of oil per 600 miles,apparently Toyota stated that acceptable consumption is 1Ltr per 1000 miles,which I would still consider very high for a modern low mileage car.

Has anyone got details of experience of this please or can possibly give me more reassuring info.

Desmond why can't you put the year and model in the subject line as prompted three time before you post ?
