Features
The 1998 Grand Am has a lot of nice amenities that make it an enjoyable car to drive. One of the most enjoyable things I like about the car is that the instruments light up red at night. I feel that this is easier on my eyes than the green because the red doesn't shine as bright as green. Another one of the features I like is the DRL/ALS system, which stands for the Daytime Running Lights and Automatic Light System. This system automatically turns on the normal driving lights when it senses that it is dark enough outside to use them. Another feature that is cool about the car is the ETS(Electronic Traction System). This feature automatically slows the engine speed down when it senses wheel spin, virtually eliminating wheel spin. I feel that this is a good feature if you are hard on the throttle but don't want to peel out. Other features the car has is Anti-Lock brakes and dual air-bags, which give a good discount on insurance. Everything else about the car is pretty much about the same as other cars, with slight differences in design.
