Cars play a much more important role in ''The Sims 3'', as they are used to travel around to places (otherwise the player can use a taxi, walk/jog, or [[bike]]). However, the Sims will not autonomously drive to work, as the carpool will still arrive for them, even if there is a vehicle assigned to the Sim. The game comes with 11 cars. In addition, a Sim who reaches level 5 in the [[Law Enforcement]] career will receive a Police Cruiser based on the Yomoshoto Evasion as a bonus. In [[Ambitions]], a player who reaches level 10 in the [[Firefighter]] profession will receive a [[Woo Woo 4000]] Fire Truck.
Cars are purchased from the "vehicles" section in [[buy mode]]. Their prices are more realistic and reflect real-life prices more than those in ''The Sims 2'', ranging from §950 to §105,000. Most of the families in ''The Sims 3'' and its expansion packs already own cars which are either on their lot or in their inventories.
As with bikes, the car will go into the Sim's inventory after a Sim has driven it to another lot, unless that lot has a parking lot. It can be dragged and dropped into the inventory of other family members, or double clicked to allow the Sim to drive to a new location.
As with ''[[The Sims 2]]'', only [[teen]]s and older can drive cars. If ''[[The Sims 3: Generations|Generations]]'' is installed, teens must be taught how to drive by an older Sim first. Both the teen and the older Sim will get into the car and drive around the world. Once the teen has learned how to drive, they can use any car on their own. Teens that grow up without having been taught how to drive will still be able to drive on their own.
Driveways in ''The Sims 3'' are smaller than in ''The Sims 2'' and can be placed on a lot, even if it is located nowhere near the road. However, unlike ''The Sims 2'', there are no animations for Sims getting into and out of cars, and for cars pulling into or out of driveways; Sims will simply "teleport" into vehicles, and vehicles will simply appear onto the road or driveway. Also unlike ''The Sims 2'', Sims cannot WooHoo in cars, and they cannot sit in a car if it is parked on a driveway. Cars in ''The Sims 3'' are also not equipped with stereos. Stereos and WooHoo, among other interactions, were reintroduced in the [[Classically Cool Fixer-upper Car]], which is premium content from [[The Sims 3 Store]].
