New Owner of a 2016 Prius Two Questions!

Hello All!

Excited new owner of a 2016 Prius Two purchased used with 43k from Carvana (which in itself was a crazy experience - like buying a car off Amazon... still feels strange). I am still within my 7 day no questions asked return window so I was hoping to come to the community with some questions that I wanted to make sure of whole I was still in a good window and had some possible leverage with Carvana.

So in all of my research I had assumed that that two had most of the features that I needed without upping the price to a three (past a three was generally out of my price range - 18k absolute max which I ended up paying after all taxes/tags/etc). The one feature that I was surprised was not included was the warning signal when parking (forward or reverse) which I had not seen excluded/excluded in most I had read? I am assuming this is the Intelligent Clearance Sonar? Is this generally not included in the Two or by chance it is normally and I have just not turned it on correctly or it should in fact be included? (Most likely a silly question but) Is this something that can ever be added to the two model I have?

Also is the flimsy screen thing what is normally included in the car for a cargo cover? My mother has a 2016 Four or Five and it included the retractable cargo cover which from what I am seeing is so incredibly expensive on its own! Any advice on cheaper alternatives for both this and more weather resistant cargo mats? I am shocked that some enterprising young somebody hasn't made a cheaper version to push on Amazon. I have a 80 pound pup and would like to be able to put seats down in back and be as covered as possible protection wise.


Thanks all and excited to be part of the Prius fan club!

 

Thanks! I just not been able to find a consistent clear layout of all the features between all of the trims that included the parking assist- It's my first "real" car purchase (and am not incredibly car/mechanically savy) so much of my understanding had been off my brothers 2014 three and mothers 2016 five. All that I had seen included in articles laying out the differences had not mentioned the parking assist/object sensor I had just experienced the warning in both the 2014 and 2016 so it was less of an expectation and more of an unanswered question. Was unsure if the parking assist was only the parallel parking feature or if that was the object sensor warning also. All in all just trying to learn too much at once via conflicting internet sources!

 

Really interesting experience! Yeah anywhere right to your house. It still feels a bit too easy. Clearly the not being able to talk to a salesperson for questions might have been a negative based on my lack of car knowledge but my experience at looking a few Prius's at CarMax (More expensive for higher milage and fewer options) was with someone who couldn't answer most of my questions either. It was my first car buying experience that was not from a family or friend selling a car to me personally but I was incredibly surprised how easy and painless it was! I bought the car right out so I cant speak to financing but that was an option through them that seemed reasonable. I ordered the car, they verified my funds on the phone in a three way call with my bank before finalizing scheduling delivery. Showed up in front of my house at scheduled time (3pm on a Saturday, I ordered the car Thursday night) and unloaded the car, gave it a look over and took it on a 15min test drive and singed it over. They handled all title/tag/everything and I was good to go. Have a 7 day no questions asked period where if I decide I don't like or want it for any reason I can just call them and they will come scoop it up and return my $$ in full (past 400 miles they charge $1 per/mile). My Father did this returning a Nissan Leaf he wanted to test out and said it was painless to return in the 7day window and my brother also purchased (and kept) his Prius from Carvana and had a similar positive experience to mine. They also offered me the option of selling my old car which would have been a similar process of right from my house but I did get a better appraisal (about $800 higher) from CarMax.Customer service was responsive, quick and helpful. All in all still feels a little too good, quick and painless to be true but haven't had anything happen to prove otherwise.

 

Thanks. Clearly should have found PriusChat sooner but still happy with the two regardless! The change in price didn't seem worth it for my needs either. Just wanted to make sure I was covering all my bases even in as the ignorant newb in the after-buy. Thanks for the help!
