Honda Cars India Ltd. — gear shift hard and sometimes not able to switch gears.

I purchased new honda city vmt petrol model in june-2017 from crystal honda pune. I choose this car over hyundai verna just because its japanese car and known for petrol.

I really like this car but my happiness is not more than 40 days. As i seen this car has hard gear shifting problem and even so hard as compared others cars from hyundai, maruti, volkswagen. From day 1 i observed gear shift is hard later i feel sometimes i am unable to switch from 3 to 2 immediately its just stuck to neutral. I complaint to showroom immediately initially they said its honda and gears are hard you might feeling. Again i used it for 30 days then i feel i am unable switch to 2nd gear from 3rd gear immediately then i checked may i not pressing clutch completely then push hard on clutch still not able to do it. I have to release it then try again then its works. The behavior is like old jeep cars from india it doesn't feel me like driving premium/executive car.

I raised complaint to showroom again then they keep it for 3 days after that i feel problem is solved but i faced same issue in last 2 days in rush traffic and its scary for life.

Now i feel its not worth buying honda cars looks like they have manufacturing defects itself. Now i am fully convinced not all japanese technology are good and will not encourage people to buy honda cars go for hyundai, nexa or other brand.
