The good and the bad (in my opinion)
 A few reasons I decided on the Highlander: Consumer Reports ratings, need for lots of leg room for my 6'9" son, and I needed a larger vehicle than my Honda Civic to accomodate my 250 lb. dog.   I really like the Highlander, except that the seats aren't deep enough. I'm 5'11" and have long legs. The edge of the seat hits me in the middle of my thighs.  I didn't notice it during the test drive because I wasn't in the car long enough to notice it.  I have an hour+ commute to and from work, and my legs become very uncomfortable.   The third seat is useless. My 5-year- old niece might fit back there, but no full-size adult could ever fit there comfortably.
