I mean for a 40k car, shouldn't it have a smooth shift? Has anyone else have this experience? It is really frustrating me.
I am going to take it to the dealer very soon. I just hit 1k, so I need my first oil change anyway.

nothing to take to the dealer about, you basically have to double clutch for the 1st to engage if the car's moving. The syncro just isn't able to mesh for that gear if the speeds are too different, a lot of us have noticed this characteristic.
Just slot it into 2nd for the corner...
