I want a hybrid and need 4WD. Can anyone tell me how the two compare as far as seating comfort?

I'm about 100 miles from the nearest Highlander hybrid dealer and thought I would get some opinions before going that far.

With the nearest HiHy dealer a hundred miles from me, any concerns about service that I should consider before buying that far from home?

Thanks!
