list. The husky Highlander comes standard with a 6-speaker AM/FM/CD sound system with a cassette player. The 6-speakers were distributed well throughout the cabin, allowing clear sound quality from the driver's seat to those in the third row, making sing-a-longs a joy for everyone. No, we did not listen to Raffi or Charlotte Diamond, but instead turned up the smooth soundings of The Backstreet Boys and Avril Lavigne! Not my first choice in music but nevertheless entertaining. Other standard features in my V6 4WD model include keyless and illuminated entry, power door locks and windows, air conditioning, tilt steering, privacy glass, a

roof rack, and front and rear cupholders. Gotta have the cupholders! Optional features included in the "B Package" (equipped in my test car) were the new front heated seats, leather seating surfaces, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, power driver's seat, aluminum alloy wheels, and wheel locks.
The cabin of the Highlander is quite spacious with 909 liters (32.1 cu ft) of room with the seats up and 2,305 liters (91.4 cu ft) with the seats down. When the kids were not in the car, the third row seats were folded flat making room for all of my miscellaneous items. However, when the kids did occupy the third row there was not a lot of legroom for them, but it wasn't an issue. Speaking from experience, an adult would not fit comfortably in the last row, especially someone reasonably tall.
