WRX using oil.
I have a 03 WRX Impreza that has covered 6500 miles. In that time it has used about 1Lt of oil, is this normal and has anyone else had a similar result?

I would say thats pretty normal. Bear in mind that the WRX is a powerful car. I find mine will use quite a bit too............

Could be worse though. Two of my mates have Civic Type R's and they use quite an alarming amount of oil!!!

I think you'll find that quite normal, most people seem to agree they use oil for the 1st 10K then after the first service use less....

Agreed WRX-Mark. 0-7500 had to put in a litre. 22500-26000 used no oil.
