You still have a warranty don't you? Take it to the garage! There are sooo many things that can cause that problem that we may never guess it.
It could be the plugs, it could be a sensor, fuel pump, ect. But if it's still under warranty you should be Aight. If they can find it at the garage even.
If your not covered by the Warranty check your plugs and wires first, it would be the cheapest route if it's that if not you didnt spend more than 40 bucks to see and atleast thats done. Then Id check a few sensors to see if they are working. You will need an ohm meter to do this. You might want to buy a manuall for the car.
Good luck man! hope it works out for ya!

shouldnt be with only 6000kms on the clock... plugs do burn out fast in these cars though. If they're original, it might be time for a replacement, who knows? Only one way to find out, pull them out and check!
