2015 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Toyota replaced the 2013 Highlander's rear struts with control arms to enable a three-inch-wider third-row seat, and then used the extra space to cram in a third seating position. So if you need seats for eight people, only the Highlander will do in this threesome. A top-of-the-line Santa Fe only seats six. Other eight-pass options include the Honda Pilot and GM's large crossovers. But those three people best be small, as the Highlander doesn't have nearly as much rear legroom as the Pathfinder or the Santa Fe. To fit children of even middling size in the third row it's necessary to slide the second row well forward. The second row seat cushion is mounted too low for adult comfort. The Nissan's second row suffers from a similar shortcoming, but the Hyundai's does not. see full Toyota Highlander review

2006 Saab 9-2X Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Cramped rear seat leg room. Rear door opening tight at shoe level. Swooping c-pillar design obstructs outward visibility. see full Saab 9-2X review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Lack of any type of lumbar support is very uncomfortable. I opened the seat and installed my own inflatable device...much better now. see full Saab 9-2X review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Somewhat cramped rear legroom. see full Saab 9-2X review
