2010 CRV Burning Oil.....but Honda says that's normal

What about older CR-V models
Hello to all, We are thinking of purchasing a 2006 CR-V from original owner. It has a little over 60K. I've been checking various cars at carcomplaints.com and have noticed that both Toyota and Honda owners have been complaining about the excessive oil. Most of the CR-V after 2006 seem to have the most problems.
About 2 years ago we bought a very nice low mileage Camry from the original owner. One day I just thought I would check the dip stick and was shocked to see that it was almost dry and took 2 quarts to bring the level back. We sold that car within a year. Toyota is also claiming that 1 quart per 1,000 miles is acceptable. That's what we used to say about used cars in the 1960s.
We still own a 1996 Camry wagon which does not burn a drop of oil. I think the auto companies should come clean and explain why this is happening. They know how to correct the issue, but want us to pay for the fix.
