Yeah, not normal at all. One question I haven't seen asked, is how many miles was on the car when you got it? If there were a lot of miles on yours it might have been thrashed real bad on test drives during the break in period and therefore your rings did not seat properly. That could lead to your excessive oil consumption problem. Honda motors are pretty bullet proof but like any mass production engine it requires a certain amount of mileage for break in to get the rings to seat properly. For the Fit it's 600 miles.

I had to pay $600 to get my car delivered on a flat bed truck. There was no way I was going to let some stranger drive my car 800 miles. It wouldn't have cost me anything with a driver but I would rather have piece of mind. My Fit was delivered to me with 10 miles on it, which I think is appropriate for a new car.
