This is the same as my LR Focus, can be really difficult to get the box into 1st when still moving slowly. Also, getting my Focus into reverse can be very difficult at times, at first I put it down to a new gearbox, but now after two years, I am thinking its part of its character. I still love the precise nature of the box though, best gearbox I have ever used. Jeremy Clarkson praised the Ford GT40s gearbox / clutch feel for being like a Focus - so that's a pretty good compliment for the cars.
Just adding my experience to yours, CDAA.
