I like the side-mirrors, been useful a few times, but the rear cross-traffic alert is very good IMO. I learned to backup ultra slow with my 2010 C5 SS and my BMW 4-series GC had about the exact same size rear window, but even still, you can't see someone barreling down a row of parked cars unless they are right behind you. The cross-traffic sensor will sense this well ahead of time and alert you. It's nice and not intrusive, it only seems to come on when there is really a significant concern. I rented a new Acadia with all the bells and whistles last week and that was really intrusive with it's safety systems.

It's part of the package, it's been there since the 2SS was offered.

I didn't need all the extra equipment on the 2SS, I'm fine with the 1SS 1LE level. And you are right the 2SS will bring more on resale or trade, probably more than $2K. I'm thinking closer to $4K.

So now I have to be specific in shopping for an 2SS 1LE. I didn't even know that existed till reading this thread. The configurator online doesn't really make it clear that you car order an 1SS or 2SS with the 1LE PKG. I thought once you went with the 1LE, you automatically get blind spot monitor. I don't necessarily need the additional features of the 2SS (heated and ventilated seats are nice, but with Alacantara inserts it's not a necessity for me). As far as blind spot monitor (rear cross traffic is nice also, considering the lack of visibility), it's a must have for me! There are certain features that once you get used to, they're Hard to give up. Blind spot monitor on my Cayman and BMW are not standard, and both silly expensive to have them, but I opted to have them on both cars. I put almost 100 miles a day on my commute, and when you're sleepy, blind spot monitors are an added layer of defense...
