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 |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD |
Not room enough for sufficient leg space for both front and rear passengers at the same time. Rear seat room is tight. Makes you want to avoid having rear passengers in the car. Typical for a 2-door. see full Audi A5 / S5 review |
