The 2023 Mazda3 Sedan is an impressive vehicle that has captured the hearts of many drivers. As your local Mazda dealer in Jacksonville, FL, we have seen firsthand why customers keep returning for this model. Today, we will examine three compelling factors contributing to the vehicle’s popularity among drivers.
Your Local Mazda Dealer: 3 Reasons Drivers Love the 2023 Mazda3 Sedan
1. Performance
This impressive car is available in six different trim levels. The first five trims of the Mazda are all powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with cylinder deactivation. This feature (cylinder deactivation) is crucial because it allows the engine to conserve fuel by shutting off the intake and exhaust valves when they’re not needed, leading to improved fuel efficiency.
If you’re looking for more power under the hood, you’ll want to check out the top-of-the-range Turbo Premium Plus trim. This model is equipped with a 2.5L dynamic pressure turbo engine that delivers an impressive 250 horsepower when using 93 octane fuel. The Premium and Turbo Premium Plus models also come with a standard i-Activ AWD®, an advanced all-wheel-drive system that provides improved vehicle traction and handling in various weather conditions.

In addition to the MX-5 Miata’s widely praised soft-top design, the RF (standing for “Retractable Fastback”) model offers a sleek hardtop that opens and closes with the push of a button in less than 15 seconds. This gives the car extra rigidity and comfort during harsher weather or longer road trips. That’s all while delivering the outstanding performance that the roadster has become famous for. Keep reading to learn more about the 2023 Mazda Miata RF!
A Closer Look at the 2023 Mazda Miata RF
Powertrain
The Miata RF’s very low curb weight of under 2,500 pounds allows it to be powered by a smaller, yet extremely capable engine, which comes as the vaunted 2.0L Skyactiv-G inline-4 engine making 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough performance to get the car hustling from 0 to 60 in under six seconds. Grand Touring models offer a sporty 6-speed automatic transmission, but many are sure to gravitate towards the 6-speed manual.
Both of the Miata RF’s Club and Grand Touring trims come standard with a torque-sensing limited-slip differential that quickly adapts to changing conditions to maintain excellent traction.

Ignition coils help generate the electrical voltage that lets the engine’s spark plugs spark. A typical Mazda with four combustion chambers can still operate with one faulty ignition coil. But the car’s performance will suffer greatly, and more significant car problems may soon develop. If one of your ignition coils fails, you’re likely to notice the following six warning signs and should have it repaired or replaced at your nearest Mazda dealer as soon as you can.
Does Your Mazda Have a Faulty Ignition Coil?
Failing Engine Power
When an ignition coil stops sending a steady supply of voltage to the spark plug, that spark plug begins to misfire. As a result, the engine loses power: when you step on the gas, it won’t be as responsive as before.
Rough Idling
When a spark plug starts to misfire because of a bad coil, you’ll feel the car struggling. Most notably, it will no longer be purring quietly when you slow down or pause in idle. Instead, it will cough and sputter and seem like it’s struggling to keep running.
