That was a Raiu edition that was passed around to all of the local journalists including a buddy of mine and they all reported the same thing. I think something was wrong with the stupid STi short shifter in that Raiu. I personally think the stock shifter is fine and the car does not need the short shifter.
I did read about an actual Raiu owner on this forum also having difficulty shifting from 1st to 2nd. Possibly more evidence that the short shifter was a bad idea.
