Mazda 3 2014 nitpicks list : do you have the same?
Just a couple of nitpicks I got for my hatch 2.0.. I'm curious to see if I'm the only one.
- Water in the front light. Dealership says it's normal
- 4th gear really hard to shift (1 times out of 4)
- Cheap heater zone **** (try it in when it's cold, you'll see what I mean)
- Really really cheap rug/cover and poor light in the trunk
- Really poor FM radio reception : sound goes up and down all the time

I didn't notice any problem with shifting. As a matter of fact, I love how smoothly 2014 M3 shifts.
I will try the heater. Never tried it yet for being in CA.
Rug is fair I think. I find letherette seat covers really cheap though.
FM radio was not best but okay. Sound did not go up and down on mine.

Water inside the light should not be normal.
Replace the bulb in trunk with an LED bulb (I changed all my interior bulbs to LED and it makes a big difference). LED bulbs aren't cheap. being a 2014, you may have to remove the bulb then order one when you know which bulb it is.

@UseYourNoggin LED bulb.. cool!
As for the heater ****, it only happens with the third **** on the right, the one who controls zones. It is really odd. It fells like I might be breaking something inside on the long run by using it.
I am getting used to the shifter.
But I might bring it to the dealership again for water in the headlight and tells them about the poor radio/speakers. Really annoying.

Go to Settings in the Music section and uncheck HD radio..fixed the problem for me.
My only problem is the fact that you're locked out of 90% of the cars features while driving and that you cannot mute the GPS.
