1. I'm not a fan of cars making their own decisions ("I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that"), so we skipped all the driver assist options. In retrospect, I sort of wish I had gotten the parking assist stuff, as I still find it hard to know exactly where the edges of the van are, and I've come real close to backing into a tree just repositioning in my own driveway! The back-up camera is not perfect, especially when it's dark and fogged up.
2. Nick at SMB-West didn't recommend the heated windshield, but we got it anyways and are glad we did. In bad weather (we've seen a lot of it so far) the dash heater barely makes a dent in frost or fog on the giant front window, but as soon as we hit the button for the window heater, it clears right up.
And of course, as cheap luxuries go, you can't beat heated seats in cold weather. And they gotta swivel, that's essential. We swivel the passenger seat every time we camp, sometimes the driver's seat.
