Line 26:
When a Sim uses a car or taxi to travel to a lot, the image of that vehicle will be shown in the loading screen.
Cars of various kinds, including service NPC vehicles and taxis, can be seen driving randomly around the roads while in the neighborhood view; however, these cars are purely
=== NPC-driven vehicles ===▼
Some other cars are also in the game, but were not made buyable or ownable. Some may be available as [[Car#Custom Content|custom content]].▼
* '''Limo:''' A stretch limousine resembling a '''Lincoln Town Car '''(1998-2003) that serves as carpool for some jobs. It also appears when a teen goes out or sneaks out with someone, or when a college student is being taken to the [[secret society]].▼
* '''Town Car:''' A sedan that resembles an older '''Lincoln Town Car''' (1990-1997) with a soft top. It's a carpool for several jobs, and in some career tracks, such as [[Education#The Sims 2|Education]], is even the carpool for the top-level job.▼
* '''Small Sports Car:''' It's a carpool car that appears in either bright red or bright blue, and is very small. It resembles a '''Maserati Coupe''' (2002-2007). The red car and the blue car are actually two separate cars that are almost identical, but this is only apparent if they are examined very closely.▼
* '''Fire Truck. '''An average sized fire truck.▼
* '''Ambulance.''' Paramedic carpool vehicle, and sometimes seen on television.▼
* '''Large Truck:''' A delivery truck used by the grocery store, the [[Repo-man]], and the [[exterminator]]. The grocery truck is blue with a yellow streak on the sides and rear. On close inspection, it can be seen that the streak is formed by a winged PlumbBob. The Repo-man's truck has sad faces on it, and has no rear doors. The exterminator's truck is yellow, has a picture of a bug and a "No" symbol on the sides, and an oversized model of a dead bug on the roof.▼
* '''Bus:''' Kids go to [[school]] in a yellow school bus, and some jobs in the [[Athletic]] career track use a team bus as the carpool. The sports team bus is white with a red stripe, while the school bus is yellow with a black stripe, but they are otherwise identical.▼
* '''UFO:''' Technically, it's a car. The design is available as [[custom content]]. It has yet to be turned into something more fitting, such as a helicopter.▼
* '''HMV:''' A military truck, used as the carpool for many jobs in the [[Military#The Sims 2|Military]] career track.▼
===Purchasing and owning a car===
Line 43 ⟶ 55:
In early neighborhood pictures before ''The Sims 2'' was released, some houses had driveways and garage doors, suggesting that ownable cars were originally intended for the base game. Something else to support this is that there is a buyable and ownable car, but it only appears if it is made to appear in a category, and doesn't work correctly.
====Models====

The five different models in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' are:
Line 89 ⟶ 101:
Regardless of how many seats a particular model of car would have in real life, a car in ''The Sims 2'' can hold any number of Sims. For example, a family of eight can ride in a Hunka, even though it looks like a two-seat sports car.
