Just wanted to say wassup to everyone here. Just joined the VW club with my 2012 VW Tiguan SEL. Looking to gain some valuable knowledge on this site.

Welcome mate.
The American versions are slightly different than the Australian delivered versions so bear this in mind when taking advice.

What options does the SEL come with?

I opted for the 2012 for the new body style, also the wife wanted all the bells and whistles so ended up with the SEL model (non-premium navi), Reflex Silver Metallic with black interior. Also US versions don't have the TDI diesel versions just yet.

From my understanding the SEL includes (vs SE navi package):
- Adaptive Xenon LED lights (A-W-E-S-O-M-E is all I gotta say)
- leather seats with the powered driver seat (this was a must for the wife)
- engine push start button
- 19" VW Savannah wheels
- same RNS315 unit as the SE package.

I opted out of the premium navi because USA vehicles don't have the cameras equipped until the January shipments so I couldn't wait that long since I got such a great deal on this one. Overall, I'm liking the vehicle -- although the wife has already taken a liking and claimed it...

Interesting.
The 132 and 155 (Australian equivalent to the SE and SEL respectively) don't actually have any of those options as standard, they are optional extras. (except the wheels and push button start which aren't available here)
We also don't ge thte RNS315, we only have hte option of the RNS510 which comes at a large price.
