Anyone drive Elantra MD? 2011-2016

I had brand new Chevy go through a liter every 1000 km's. It was assumed that a cylinder wasn't properly honed.
 
I guess it may have been burning it, I don't check often enough to know. I also find it weird that there was no low oil light, the temp gauge stayed normal, and everything everything seemed fine until it's last 5-10 minutes. If it were burning oil it's weird that they didn't notice that before. Usually when I take it for a change they tell me everything about it. What fluids they topped up, any alignment issues, how much brake pads have worn, etc. The last oil change I remember they took it out for a drive as well. They are usually really informative. This time, not so much.

It made my day about 100x better when they said everything would be covered! Now I just have to tolerate this dam Kia rental for a few more weeks!
 
I change my oil myself on my elantra. For the first 1000km I check the oil religiously. I have never had an oil burn issue. Even at a 10k the oil is at the exact same level

Sounds like my 2001 Jetta 2.0. By the time it was due for an oil change it had all new oil in it, in theory. Used a lot of gas if you drove as fast as I do, too. Oil consumption was a known problem with that engine, though.
