> It’s burning oil. And studdering. I can’t explain it very well, but sometimes when I accelerate, it seems to hesitate and it sounds almost like it’s backfiring. I’m not sure if that’s the correct term. When it’s idling sometimes it kind of sounds like it’s backfiring too.

Misfiring?  
My Legacy was doing the same thing, especially when the car had been sitting overnight or when it was raining. It was throwing misfire codes once in a while, but not always. The coilpack tends to crack over time from the heat of the engine, and water gets in there. I replaced the coilpack, plugs, and wires, and it runs 100x better now.
