Call any Mazda dealer with your VIN and they can tell you precisely what trim.

There is a thread 'round heya tho' that pretty well identifies.

^That's going to be the easiest way. It has me a little perplexed. The car may have just had a few extra factory add-ons, but calling Mazda is the easiest and most consice way of knowing for sure.

no there were 8 versions in for 2004 model year in the US.

6MT Base, Sport, Touring and Grand Touring
4AT Base, Sport , Touring and Grand Touring

Base MT did not have sport suspension. Base AT did not have Sports Suspension and had smaller front brakes and different wheels. Touring added moon roof and Bose stereo. GT added leather and heated mirrors/seats

If you were to count the 5MT versions available overseas that would add 3 or 4 more
