As a matter of fact, sometimes I do smell something. I usually wrote it off to a shitty job of shifting. From what I've seen and heard these cars have pretty tight and notchy gearboxes.. we are early adopters and these cars are Version 1...
Short of taking the transmission out, I have found success in putting it in 2nd gear then 1st. Going into 2nd seems to open things up ( non techincal term) and it goes into first pretty well most times.
On the bright side, it could be an awesome anti theft feature. And my 16 year cannot make it work so that's an upside as well.
Sometime soon, I'm going to have the trans pulled and take a hard look
