Pretty good rear seat space, and it will fit six people. But the center passengers had better be small. Still, the bench seats are very handy. see full Mercury Grand Marquis 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 |
