2006 Canadian SE package?

Anyone know for sure what was in the SE package in 2006? I'm guessing it was the cinnimon red paint, the leather/alcantara seats, 'polished' aluminum rims, moonroof... and that's it? Anything else?

Could that be the same as the Sports package?

The color is "Copper Red".

In addition to what you listed, it also had urethane filled suspension members.

Anyone know conclusively whether the Canadian SE model (as opposed to the US Shinka) has the 14mm struts and urethane filled A pillars, front crossmember and... is it differnt mounting plates for the rear struts?

I have a 'Copper Red' 2006 SE... definately does not have Shinka on b pillar (or anywhere) and no mention of SE anywhere either. Is there something I can look at (perhaps about the front crossmember) that makes it a certainty?

Inquiring minds want to know!!!

easiest way to tell if it's a true shinka is if the liners on the centre console are piano black verses the standard silver. If they're black then ya got the poly ur motor mounts etc.

a lot of used car places state that pretty much any 05/06 is a shinka.

I actually asked the salesperson at the ajax mazda dealer, and apparantly he said that the '06 shinka package is only an appearance package with no 14mm struts and urethane filled A pillars etc etc...of course this is in Canada and applies for only the Canadian models...but is that true?
