Is it a GXL or a GTU
I need help figuring out what this is. It is a 90, manual windows & locks, power sunroof, and heres a picture. If you need to know anything else about it to figure it out I'll post it.
Thanks

Look at the picture and the OP's description. It's a GTU.

Wow, I really appreciate someone who comes in to ask what they have instead of bringing in a GTU and saying "yeah look at my GTUs with the sunroof, crappy brakes and the 's' that fell off! What? No, screw you guys you dont know what you're talking about."
Yeah, you know who Im talking about.

actually, my 90 GTU has those wheels, so that's not an accurate statement. One definate way to tell is the Electronic Suspension. Do you know if has an LSD? Don't some GXLs have an lsd? I know the s4 GTU does, s5 GTU does not, and the s5 GTUS does. I'v yet to figure out the GXL LSD thing. But yeah, the electronic suspension thing is the best way to determine.

From what icemark posted I am pretty sure that it is a GTU...b/c it shows manual windows under the gtu and also the power sunroof as optional....and I have seen wheels like that on GTU before.

S5 GXL= open differential
Covered in the FAQ for FC sticky thread and the What did my car come with, standard features and options sticky thread.

By this time, someone could have put in manual windows, had different rims put on etc. The VIN will tell the story.

Unless the car had major work done (such as peiced back together after an accident) if there is a rear wiper or rear wiper switch, the car is a GXL.
Running the VIN will show it up as a "GXL or GTU", unless you have the Mazda dealer run the VIN.
