First SUV-style car I've bought in 19 years. First time VW owner.
Based in Texas, and my favorite things to do for hobbies are music, cooking, and German.

Do you just sign the papers and leave the dealer alone?
Because I'm asking a hundred questions that I am just now thinking of, like is anti theft included and such.


I really wanted the SE, but my kids talked me into the SEL. I caved because I felt the SEL
would hold a higher resale value. I am definitely NOT attached to any of the advanced features . I
am disappointed that I didn't have a choice about all wheel drive. The SEL is the only trim level that
doesn't offer that choice, if I understand correctly.

Not sure where you’re getting that SEL is the only trim that doesn’t offer all wheel drive.

AWD (aka 4 Motion) is a available for all trim including SEL.

I believe the SEL comes only in AWD so you are correct, there is no choice. Just purchased mine today and that’s what i was told.

Personally, I prefer the AWD because of the different drive modes. The steering on the front wheel drive felt way too light and numb for me. My favorite mode is custom so that it is in normal or eco drive mode, but with sport steering.

ohh so you don't want a 4 motion SEL. sorry that not an option. why wouldn't you wan that 4 motion and DSG?

anti theft...is that a thing? nothing is anti theft as if someone wants your car they going to steal it. simple

the SE and the SEL are close in spec. things like digital cockpit pro and the like separate them. for the price id say the SE is better then the SEL.

I just bought a 2023 SEL 4 motion (AWD) in white. The features are overwhelming but I took a few minutes today to get familiar and feel better! I have had it 5 days now. So far I love it!

DSG is inferior to the traditional 8-speed
