I wanted to know the interior and exterior differences between the S4 and S5



I know the tail lights need to be changed and the gauge cluster are there any other differences between them

The snout and trim packages are different on the exterior. The dash surround, the center console surround, and the door panel config are different on the interior as well.

I think the 10th AE is the nicest FC, thats an S4.

The S5 has a rubberized radio surround allong with the gauge surround. The gauges were also revised, they now were all round and less accurate than S4. The shifter has a shorter throw in the S5.

If you dig the mono thunderchicken look than a bloated S5 is for you.

I was just joking guys. A 10th AE is nothing special to me. Just a limited number with a shitty paint that came from factory. And don't say the badges, seats, and steering wheel. Those are small things.



S5's do weigh more though.

I assume you're talking coupe (rather than convertible), so the S5 also have the awesome automatic seat belts

haha, what was mazda thinking with those? Yeah, I know, it was those or an airbag, and auto seat belts were cheaper.



oh, and S5's had different wheels than S4
