Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The Gearbox is giving me major problems. I live in the hillside and I often have to switch gears while driving especially between one and two. It so happens that when you are in a traffic jam and changing gears very frequently from one to two and back, eventually the gear will not shift into gear one. It becomes a Herculean task. I have been stranded in uphill traffic more times than I care to mention because the gear does not shift into gear one. Eventually it does but it takes major effort. But to be fair, I should mention that I am a new Driver. The car is my first car, purchased and delivered in December 2015. But the same problem was mentioned by another experienced driver who taught me how to drive. He had also complained that the gear does not shift into gear one. It is very demoralizing. Today the gear box made very stressful sounds while I was testing gears on plain grounds.

Second major problem - the car horns stop working for no reason. This started from yesterday. After having driven 35kms the car horn stops functioning. It happened more or less at the same spot yesterday and today too. How can a car Horn Mal function? Ok maybe the gear box problem is that I am a new Driver....but car horn. Now I have to drive back to town and I am not sure whether it will function or not. This is a QUALITY ISSUE and I am pretty sure the GearBox is also not my doing....How difficult can it be to shift gears? What next - The Brakes!!!!!!

I am dissaponted with this car. Would advise people to rethink purchase of this car. Now that I am reviewing other complaints - it seems this car has quality issues.
