Default 2011 Models burning oil?

Hi, I'm looking at a 2011 tC for a family member. I own a 2009 that seems to be pretty good but
I had to have it tested for oil consumption issue, but the test result is negative.

Are the 2011 models burning oil? What to watch out for in term of other problems?

Thanks.

Not an issue on the 2AR motor. The main issue you read about is an issue with the input shaft bearing on the MTX transmissions from 11-13, but even in the schema of things it's fairly rare.

Thanks. Still looking and expanding the search to later years. 2016 picked my family member's interest due to rear wiper. Being curious, I read on wikipedia that 2016 model comes with sports suspension. Is the wikipedia accurate? What problems are typical for 2016 model?
