Don’t new Toyotas usually debut at the top of their class?

Third Row Comfort

The third row in the previous Highlander was literally a mid-cycle afterthought, but with the 2008 model designed with three rows from the start, we expected better than we got. The seat cushion is low, there’s very little leg, head or shoulder room, and the seatback is thinly padded and bolt-upright. If you plan to use it for kids only, keep in mind there’s no LATCH anchor provided. Access is available only from the passenger’s side, where the second row seat doesn’t slide far enough out of the way; the driver’s side doesn’t slide at all. GM’s Lambda-platform crossovers (e.g., the GMC Acadia) do it all much better.
