| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Actual adults can sit in it comfortably see full Scion tC review |
| 2006 | 2dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Ample width; able to find comfortable driving position even without telescoping steering wheel. see full Scion tC review |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Seat fabric is very rough and stains are unusually difficult to remove, but the fabric is at least durable. Rear seat is split folding, and also reclines. Rear seat is actually usable (have a child seat installed back there), panoramic moonroof is nice. see full Scion tC review |

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Toyota Highlander
| 2011 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I am 6 foot tall, and there is plenty of head and leg room in the driving position. Easy access as well. see full Toyota Highlander review |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Lots of room in the second row, including seats that recline and move back & forth. Having the third row as an option for occasional use was really the deciding factor. see full Toyota Highlander review |
| 2011 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
3rd row seats are useless to me. Too little room for adults. Should have been an option for families with small children. With 3rd row seating, you lose storage space. see full Toyota Highlander review |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Third row minimal legroom see full Toyota Highlander review |
