congrats on the purchase OP! as to your question about oil consumption, i have a 2011 also and did a check of the oil after i reached the end of the break in period and it read right exactly where it needed to be right between "H" and "L", so as far as my 2011 is concerned i have not noticed any oil consumption issues. I have 2500 miles on her now though so i'm going to be checking the oil again tomorrow and i'll let you know if it's still where it should be

I burned about 1/2 quart during break-in. I did one oil change around 1,750 miles and I'm just about to hit 3,000 miles now. Absolutely no oil consumption since. I check it weekly along with other fluids and tire pressure. So far so good with my '11...

First Impresion: Well i traded my 2008 Honda s2000 and OMG!!!!! I have seen the ligth there is power everywhere LOL.
Im very exited and im in the process of breaking her in so I've only messed around, no WOT yet we shall see.

Only thing Im concerned about is the imfamous oil consumption i will stay on top of it but what is the current presentage of members here that have seen this issue?
As mentioned below, just monitor your oil. Chance are low that 2011's have the issue (not even part of TSB).

No sir, you are not alone. Actually, thanks for reminding me. Going to garage right now.

It looks bad *** in the rear, front or sides.
Agree.... I smile whenever I see her... also, I smile when OTHER people look at my car

Same for me... planning to do my Amsoil oil change tomorrow (2nd oil change, now at 2500 miles)
