Has anyone else experience any oil consumption in these vehicles especially a four cylinder

Yeah, I think this is the way it should be. A new car (imho) should not need oil topped off between changes. Prior to purchasing my Audi, I read all the horror stories about previous generations needing frequent oil top offs. I've never once had to do it.
The thing that concerns me about a new car throwing a low oil alert, is the sensor itself. If this is truly the problem, then adding oil above the maximum limit could adversely affect the crankshaft by creating foamy oil. I'd have that car in the shop immediately for a diagnostic.
