Which new cars still offer front bench seats?

Widely available until the late 1990s, front bench seats allowed traditional passenger sedans to seat six instead of five passengers, improving utility.

What is the "TRAC off" light on a car?

Traction control systems originated in 1971 when Buick introduced a new feature called MaxTrac.
