Do you get this problem occasionaly? My reverse gear is really difficult to "engage" at times. I push the gear down, left and then when I tried to push up, it won't go in.
KNow what I mean? I usually have to try 3-4 times and release the clutch a couple of times before it'll work again. Quite annoying.

A common issue?
I've had it a number of times, although normally when I get it I find that sufficient force will allow the gear to engage.
I don't know whether it's a common issue or not, but then every car I've ever driven has had some sort of problem engaging reverse...
There's no synchro on reverse (there never is). If it won't go in, put in first and nudge forward a couple of inches, then try again. Applies to any car.
I think it is because your car is very new. It may need to wear a bit before it can engage smoothly.
Luckily my petrol sport has always been soo smooth. Ask Scorpio1, he has driven my car and compared to his ex-diesel sport, his gears are really rough and the clutch is very heavy.
but this morning when i was in a carpark (with plenty cars waiting behind me ) it happend.....i depressed the clutch then engage it fully.... and after 3 tries... it engaged reverse....
