This is my 2nd Highlander. I absolutely love it. I like the dependability, comfort, stability. It's 4WD and goes practically anywhere. We have the 3rd row seat option, which is nice when travelling with 4 or more kids. The 2nd row seat has a 60/40 split, and when both sides are down we can fit a lot of stuff from Costco in there! And...It came with cloth seats, which was our top priority! Dog claws and leather do NOT get along, and cloth seats are better when it's 100+ in the summer.
