I would gues and say a GTU or a GXL but you need to give more details about the car. Like power winndows, cruise control, etc.

If you can get an engine bay shot that would end it all. GXL has power suspension adjustments, so the strut bar caps have a little CPU attached to the top. GTU does not, thankfully.

The AAS garbage only lasts like 60k miles if you're lucky. And the only struts that work with it are Mazda OEM garbage. If someone has done suspension work on your car or replaced the struts it's almost a certainty that they have removed the AAS motors.

No... Its not, look at the moulding front bumper and taillights. All of them are clearly S4 making it pre 89.
