Seat Leon FR 2.0TSI - is it reliable?

I was put off a Skoda Octavia 1.8tsi due to the potentially expensive oil consumption issues associated with the engine. I would now like to buy 2011 Seat Leon FR 2.0TSI.

Is this engine reliable and or is afflicted by the same issues noted with certain other VAG group engines?

Same problem, not properly cured until the EA888 2.0 TFSI of last year.
