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

2006 Nissan Xterra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
The seats are supportive without being rigid. I like the easy to clean, removable seating material. see full Nissan Xterra review
2006 Nissan Xterra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

The rear seat on the XTerra is not spacious, but it is sufficient for shorter adults, kids, and pets. At 6'4", I'm cramped and the narrow door opening doesn't help with access. Still, it's far less clastrophobic than the FJ Cruiser. see full Nissan Xterra review
