I'd have a hard time changing from my '99 to any other 3rd gen since I prefer the skiny black flares since they deal with brush rubs off-road better than painted plus the ergonomic upgrades were in place and the seats have better fabric than my '97 did and seem a bit more comfortable plus the Highlander models of '99 weren't so common and came in only two colors.

The big standouts in the ergonomic department IMO were:

cupholders (duh)
better headlamps
multiple power outlets (3 up front,1 in the rear)
