Backfiring - its a rotary thing....get used to it. but just to be safe, check your timing, TPS and your BAC valve. Most of my backfiring was cured by setting my timing to spec.
Oil consumption - our engines are designed to burn oil. Its injected along with the gas. Should burn a quart or two every thousand miles or so. How bad is your car eating oil?

yes, these cars are more prone to backfiring than most, but that doesn't mean they should all backfire all the time.
something, or a bunch of things, on the car is just out of adjustment. it's probably not a big deal, but there is surely some reason it is backfiring. a perfectly adjusted car will not backfire...
