What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Toyota Highlander

2012 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Perfect for two car seats. Really neat trick - the middle seat for the 2nd row rolls up into the center console. I did not remove it nor attempt to sit in it but that does make the 3rd row more likely to be used for those with car seats. I did not attempt to sit in the 3rd row (looked at it before folding into the floor for cargo space for the entire trip) so cannot opine on it. Use at your own risk. see full Toyota Highlander review

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

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

Not great, not awful. Compared to my previous BMW 535i, it's awful, but for the class of vehicle it's OK for shorter distances, which is mostly what I use it for. see full Nissan Rogue review

holds my three young kids comfortably, like the flat foot room. I don't like the front seats, I find them too flat and I don't like that they dont tilt back like my TSX see full Nissan Rogue review

Picked up one of my fat friends while on the test ride and had him ride in the back. Him and his wife were very comfortable. Lots of leg and foot room. see full Nissan Rogue review

Lots of leg room and the drivers seat is very adjustable and comfortable. I have wide shoulders and the leather seats are very comfortable for me. see full Nissan Rogue review

With leather, power seats allows for height adjustment to LOWER the seat. The non-power seats in the S (not SL) have no height adjustment and are far too high for an average male driver. Wide enough to fit an average 6 ft male. see full Nissan Rogue review
