I have often seen threads where club members ask the forum, 'Is my car a base, touring or R1 model?'.

Here is a way to find out...

Go to the following web site.

http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/disp...ersHome.action

Register as an owner and enter your car's VIN number.
Mazda will then tell you the model of car, whether it is a manual or automatic transmission, the original interior and exterior color.

 

It will also tell you if there are any outstanding recalls.

 

thats pretty cool. very easy to set up. I do have what i thought I owned.

 

Good info. Thanks.

 

Dang, I wanted to find out if my car is a PEP model. I guess that info is unavailable
