    I need your guys help!

    We currently have a 2019 Prius XLE in Magnetic Gray Met.(1G3)
    Bought it last year Aug birthday gift - for an unbelievable price.
    We absolutely love the car, but me and the Wife have an issue we simply don't like the color... we love White, looking at Pearl White.

    Main questions is... Thinking of buying a 2016, does anyone know if it drives that same as the new one?
    Ive heard of fire issues on those's years is that true?

    And does anyone know if fully loaded prius 2019 -2020 comes with no back up sensors (we don't like them).

    Thanks

    I had a 2016 Prius 3 (recently totaled) and now have a 2020 LX (the lower priced model) AWDe. Both handle about the same (except in bad weather :) ) AThe 2016 has fewer sensors (no back up, side traffic, or blind spot warnings). Both have the beeping while backing up and rear view cameras.

    I have a 2020 prius LE and feel that is better than the 2016 prius . I had a 2016 and 2018 prius 3 and the new one is quieter, rides better, and gets better mileage and better battery warranty.
