I would reccoment getting some Michelin X-ice 2's for the winter ordeal. (snow tires). as far as the reverse gear goes i also have the same problems. Throw it in first and back to reverse, should go right in. its a lock that engages when driving so you dont accidently drop it into reverse going 60 on the highway, i guess it sticks...

I also have this problem. I find that lifting the clutch slightly will allow it to slip into gear, although it will occasionally grind for a second.

Do you know if this issue is covered by the warranty?
