In general, I find the gear stick to be a little stiff and sticky - not as easy to shift like others have reported here.

Anyone else experiencing this on a non-S MC?

Kimmc- I've been having the exact same problem in my "non-S". At first I thought it could be something I was doing wrong, since I've only had the car for a week- but it only happens the first couple of times I shift from 1st to 2nd in the mornings. Please let me know if you decide to take it in.

I took it in right after break in, and they said everything was in spec, and that the transmission can take 4000-5000 miles to break in. It seems to happen less if I don't park in gear, but it still happens sometimes. I'm taking it in again after 5000 miles if it's still happening (I'm at 4200 right now).
