Ended up with the 2SS myself just because I got a great deal on it, I didn't mind spending a little extra, and it fell in my lap.

That mirror that I thought was gimmicky, and awkward to get used to, saved my ass recently. Some soccer mom in a Mercedes SUV cut across 4 lanes of traffic behind me at somewhere around 110mph. I was changing lanes, moving to the far right lane, at about 70mph. The wide view of the rear camera helped me catch her, even though there were cars between us. I avoided her at the last minute. We missed trading paint by literally inches. The stupidity and selfishness of people continues to amaze me.... I 100% would have never seen her without that mirror cam. She'd have rear ended me at a speed differential that would have been catastrophic with all the traffic.

The 1LE package adds so much that I certainly would be just as happy with the 1SS. As someone on meds that make my hands and feet cold, having the heated wheel and seats up here in New England is a really nice convenience though. I can say I don't regret spending more and having some of the extra features of the 2SS.

To me, with the 1LE option, its one of the rare instances that you could buy the lower model and not really feel like you got less of a car.
