i believe my car is a GXL

I have looked all over my car for what body type it is and i just cant seem to find it anywhere. I believe it is a GXL because of the interior, the sport suspension, and some other things. I have some pictures if someone would please host them on this thread for me that would be great. If you know what it is just by looking at it then give me your opinion. Also i just bought this car about a week and a half ago and i love it alot.

What do you guys think of my car? (well when the pictures are up )

You'd know if your car is a GXL if you have AC, PS, AAS, power windows, cruise, bins, etc etc..

A lot of that is standard on the GXL

What all does the AAS do anyways, is like hydralics to make your car jump or what.

160mph speedo = turbo?

Can anyone confirm that?

I bought a car as an N/A GTU, has a 160mph speedo - doesn't have the intercooler or anything which would lead to turbo.

i'm sure if its in the mazda book its right...your 160 mph might have been installed as a used part FROM a turbo

well right behind the stick shift there is an option to have normal suspension or sport if i push a button, now i know my car is not a turbo...does that mean its a GTU? because i could have sworn it was a GXL. *sigh* i will never know :P

if it has the AAS switches, its probably a GXL.

The 88 GTU won't have power windows.

The 89-91 GTU along with all the other 89-91s had 160mph speedo.
