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

2017 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2018 4dr SUV 295-horsepower 3.5L V6
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 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
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Subaru Forester

2011 Subaru Forester Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The rear seat room is generous. see full Subaru Forester review
2010 4dr SUV turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 leather seat "baquet" has very good lateral control, but leather is slippery on braking see full Subaru Forester review
2010 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Enough room to feel comfortable, even at 6 feet tall. The fact that the Premium Trim package allows rear seats to recline a bit helps a lot as well. see full Subaru Forester review
