Seems you're answering your own question. I didn't want an SEL because I don't want 18" wheels (ride too hard), or the Pano roof (too many potential issues). I hate heated seats, and manual SELs are all but impossible to find. But everyone has preferences. I do like the piano black dash better on the SEL.
I bought an SEL but traded the 18" wheels for the 15" off a Golf S. They don't look as nice but I like the benefits of the smaller wheels and they are growing on me in the looks department. The salesmen (and others) I'm sure thought I was nuts but that's ok.Seems you're answering your own question.

There was one just like that at Commonwealth VW in MASS a couple weeks ago.Sure wish I could locate and purchase a new 2015 Sportwagen S
TDI with manual. Looking for Tungsten silver with a manual transmission.
PM me if anyone has a new one and will sell it at a fair price.
There's a few on cars.com. No idea if there real or not.Sure wish I could locate and purchase a new 2015 Sportwagen S

Exactly. You could trade me for my 17's.Get the SEL. You can downsize the wheels easily

The S - to replace my cornsilk beige V-tex JSW TDI 6M - is the most fuel efficient of the wagons (Alltrack, 4MO, and the FWD S).............The S really come very nicely equipped, I just wish we had the choice of adding the Lighting package and Fender stereo without the pano sunroof.
The GSW I picked up yesterday has the 17" wheels with ~low profile (45 aspect ratio) Conti Pro Contact tires. I definitely notice some rigidity compared to the 16" with 55s or 60s on there. But it is not bad. I do like the nimble handling. Sticks nicely in the corners...confidence inspiring. Maybe they put 35s on the 18" wheels.Seems you're answering your own question.

That's weird. I thought all S's were cloth. That was a big turnoff to me that they to V-Tex out of the base model (along with the heated seats).What GSW tdi trim has cloth? I have the S and its has the v-tex. That was a big buying factor for me. I like the leatherette seating surface over Leather or cloth.
