What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Toyota Highlander

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 |

3rd row seats are big enough and comfortable enough for an adult. 2nd row seats are the best captain chairs I have ever sat in in a car. Glass roof gives additional room appearance. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review |

Outstanding room in the second row- tons of leg room. Very comfortable see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The STANDARD leather seating surfaces on the 2006 front seats - way better feel than artico leather. The adjustment range to get things just right and the head rest. Very cozy. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review |

This has to be, by far, the roomiest Mercedes period. Back seat comfort, even in the third row, is unmatched. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review |

Seating for 6. Great for kids. Easy to get into. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review |
