2008 | 4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Front of the GXP is great - heated leather seats, plenty of seat adjustments, and the controls are all pointed at the driver. Even on a 20 hour trip, I had no issues with discomfort. see full Pontiac Grand Prix 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 |
