==The Sims 2==

{{See also|Pearson 206 SimRanger}}

Cars are much more animated and interactive in ''The Sims 2'' than in any other game in [[The Sims (series)|the series]]. Sims open the doors to get in or out of a car, and will even open a door to let a dog or cat in or out. When leaving or returning to a [[residential lot]], a car will be shown pulling into or out of the driveway if there is room for that animation to play; if there is not enough room, the car will simply disappear from the driveway, and reappear when it returns.{{Vgversion|TS2:NL}}{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}} [[Build mode|Build]] and [[buy mode]]s will be disabled when a car is pulling in or out, and will be re-enabled once the car drives off the lot, or once it is parked in the driveway and Sims have exited the vehicle. If the route is blocked, or if there is no room for the animation to play, the vehicle and the Sims in it will simply teleport to their destination.

There are five models in ''Nightlife'', of varying price and specifications, and each one comes in several colors. They are drivable versions of carpools or service vehicles from the base game. In addition, ''[[FreeTime]]'' adds a [[One Man's Junk Car|junk car]] that can be restored.<ref>[[:File:Desiderata Valley.png|Desiderata Valley neighborhood picture with the restorable junk car in FreeTime]]</ref>
