Most front leg room compared to similar vehicles at the time. Even rear leg room fair. First car I owned with rear view camera still working well with great color and resolution. see full Infiniti M review |

3rd row seat is midget sized. Claiming that the Highlander is an 8-passenger vehicle is a lie. It's either 5 normal-sized people, or Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. There is no way you can accommodate 8 normal-sized people comfortably in this car. see full Toyota Highlander review |
