Did my FC come with a Limited Slip Differential?
Only the following FCs had a LSD from the factory:
86-88 GXL
87-91 T2
88 GTU
89-90 GTUs (however not the 89-90 GTU)
It is also rumored that a few rare 91 coupes with both the A (upgraded the interior trim, added a power sunroof, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and 4 piston front disc brakes and vented single piston rear brakes) and the B package (leather seating, a CD player, and rear cargo cover) came with a LSD, but you should note that Mazda denies that any FC other than the T2 came with a LSD in 91). You can also tell by looking at the differential as there will be a LSD tag on S4 cars with a LSD.

Do you just have that whole statement saved on your comp so you can just cut and paste every time this comes up? It seems like somone asks about the LSDs 5 times a week.
Power steering is an option, so it's on some cars, but not all. I believe it's standard on s5 cars though.

just to change that statement above: if a GXL had an automatic in it it came with a regular diff.
