Amazing 7 pass SUV

I bought 2006 EXT in Jan 2021 and this thing is awesome. I normally only buy NEW vehicles. But this was a bargain and I have put 18k miles on it in 16 months and it’s a beast. Runs great, I only done maintenance items and drives great. I have a 16 Miata and 19 Sienna. This rides great. Again I normally only buy Brand New vehicle and surprised how well this now 16 year old 143k vehicle drives and performs. I owned a new 2003 5 passenger LTZ and this drives just as good. This is something GM should of kept in production instead of replacing with the Traverse.

Love my “man van”

I got BRUTIS back in October. Fully loaded 2006 EXT with V8 and 4x4. It feels like I am driving an expensive luxury car. It has plenty of room for cargo and passengers. It also has a brush guard that was added on before I bought it. I was brought up in the large station wagon era and have previously owned 2 Caprice Estate Wagons. The EXT is more of my personal needs because the vehicle sits high, the seats face forward and I have space behind the third row. I could have easily purchased a minivan but I love the Style of the EXT. the seats are quick and easy to fold and the rear doors open wide. My friends call it a “man van” because it looks masculine with the brush guard. The fuel mileage is as expected....I average 14 mpg.
