2021 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year
Comment
With each redesign (for 2008, 2014, and 2020) Toyota has enlarged the Highlander, yet the crossover's third-row seat remains uncomforably low and tight. For adults to be even passably comfortable in the way-back the second row must be slid forward, rendering legroom there also marginal. Some three-row crossovers have much roomier and more comfortable third-row seats.
But if you want to be able to squeeze in eight people, Highlanders with a second-row bench can do this. Because they have significantly narrower third-row seats, the Ford Explorer and Kia Sorento cannot fit three people back there even in a pinch, so in hybrid form the former has a maximum capacity of seven people and the latter only six. (The Sorento PHEV will be able to seat seven.) This noted, if you want your adult passengers to have plenty of room, the practical capacity of each is four people.

The 3rd row seating is just not for adults at all, and I'm not certain that children would be easy to fit back there as well. I'm not sure what Toyota was thinking, even making the 2020 longer didn't make any difference at all. My one complaint is it is just TOO SMALL!

2013
The 2013 Lexus GS 350 has so many things done right that it's not easy to pick the thing done best. After some consideration, I'm going with the highly-adjustable driver seat included in both the F Sport and Luxury Packages. Some seats are supportive in aggressive driving. Some are comfortable. Few are both. These are among the few. Adjustments with either package include bi-level lumbar (enabling a broader, better-fitting shape than the more common vertically-adjustable lumbar bulge), thigh support, and side bolsters (the latter no longer offered by BMW on the 5-Series). The Luxury Package adds the same adjustments on the passenger side, upper seat back adjusters, and richer leather. The harder, less adjustable, less form-fitting seats in the 5-Series are neither as supportive nor nearly as comfortable.
