The five-passenger 2007 Cadillac EXT with a starting MSRP of $54,875 offers an impressive 403 horsepower from a 6.2-liter V8 outfitted with an automatic six-speed transmission. Stability and safety are insured by all wheel disc brakes and the computer-based StabiTrak system.

The EXT offers generous front head room of 41.1 inches with 40 for people riding in the backseat. Leg room measures 41.3 and 39.1 respectively. You have 101.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row of seats when the vehicle's handy midgate is open. Use the cargo bed alone and there's an available 45.4 cubic feet. Behind the first row of seats with the second row down you get 54.3 cubic feet. Add to that a towing capacity of 7,600 lbs. and there's not a lot you can't do with an EXT.

Climate controls extend over two zones with both the driver and the passenger equipped with individual controls. A full perimeter airbag and occupant sensing arrangement deploys double stage bags and supplemental bags to protect occupants.

A Bose 5.1 system with surround sound pumps across eight speakers with technology to compensate for road noise. The changer in the dash handles six discs.
