3rd Gear?

Does anybody have a problem with 3rd gear? Sometimes it wont let me shift into 3rd. I dont think its me shifting wrong becuase I havent had the same problem with the other gears or in any other car. For some reason sometimes it wont get into third.

Yup, it's a well documented issue with the Si's. Personally, I have never had any trouble shifting into any gear and this transmission is as smooth as butter compared to others that I have driven.
I think you either have the problem or you don't and I think there is a mechanical problem with the 3rd gear or the synchros which should be fixed under warranty. A lot of people have switched to different Transmission fluid like Amsoil or GM Synchromesh etc. and that seemed to masked/help the issue temporarily.
I would take it in and have them fix it because over time it will just get worse.
