My Favorite Car

My Favorite Car - Play Online

Ever wanted to feel what it's like to own and maintain a beat-up Eastern European sedan without the actual garage bills? This is basically a lite version of My Summer Car, but browser-friendly and way less punishing. You're dropped into an open world with a classic red sedan (looks like a Soviet-era Lada) that needs constant love, attention, and cash. Your goal? Keep the car running, keep yourself fed, and explore the sparse countryside without crashing into trees. It's part life simulator, part car mechanic sandbox, wrapped in that nostalgic post-Soviet aesthetic.

Key Features

• Full Car Maintenance System: Open the hood and interact with individual engine parts—battery, radiator, air filter—all clickable and replaceable.
• Survival Elements: Track your health and hunger while managing your car's fuel and condition simultaneously.
• Open World Exploration: Drive through a simple but functional road network with gas stations, rural areas, and enough space to test your ride.
• Realistic Driving Physics: The car actually handles like a heavy sedan—no arcade nonsense here, collisions matter and you'll feel it.

How to Play My Favorite Car

Getting started is straightforward, but keeping everything balanced takes real attention.

Master the Repair Game

You'll spend a lot of time staring at your car's engine bay. Press E or click to pick up parts, T to use items, and G to toss junk you don't need. The first-person interaction lets you grab individual components—swap out a dead battery, fix the radiator, or install a new air filter. It's not as deep as hardcore sims, but it scratches that hands-on mechanic itch. Move around with WASD, Space to jump, and Shift to run when you're on foot.

Keep Both You and the Car Alive

This isn't just a driving game—you've got survival meters to watch. Your character needs food, and your car needs fuel. Earn coins by completing tasks (the game doesn't spell it out, so explore and experiment). Forget to refuel? You're walking. Ignore your hunger? Your health drops. It's a constant juggling act that keeps you from just mindlessly cruising.

Drive Carefully and Explore

Once you're behind the wheel, press F to start the engine, then use WASD to drive, Space for the handbrake, and C to cycle camera views. The world is sparse—think flat roads, billboard trees, and the occasional gas station—but the driving feels weighty. Hit a tree at speed and you'll damage your car, costing you precious coins. Press T to exit the vehicle and explore on foot. The open world isn't huge, but it gives you enough room to test your repairs and hunt for resources.

Who is My Favorite Car for?

This one's aimed squarely at players who enjoy slow-burn simulation and automotive tinkering. If you grew up around these classic sedans or love the idea of a "chill car ownership sim," you'll vibe with it. Teens and young adults (18-35) looking for something different from shooters and battle royales will find it refreshing. It's definitely not for adrenaline junkies—this is more "podcast in the background" gaming. Fair warning: the low-poly visuals and sparse world won't wow graphics snobs, but if you appreciate niche simulators, the charm is there.

The Gameplay Vibe

It's meditative, almost zen-like when you're cruising down empty roads with your freshly tuned engine. The autumn color palette—bright reds and oranges—gives it a nostalgic, melancholic feel. Visually, it's rough around the edges: flat lighting, basic textures, and that stiff Unity look you see in budget indies. The car looks oddly detached from the ground due to poor shadow work, and the environment screams "asset store bundle." Audio is minimal—engine sounds are decent enough, but don't expect a soundtrack. It feels like a love letter to Eastern European car culture made by a small team on a tight budget. Janky? Yes. Charming in its own way? Also yes.

Technical Check: Saves & Performance

The game saves your progress automatically in your browser's local storage, so as long as you don't clear your cache or play in incognito mode, you're good. Performance-wise, it runs smoothly even on older laptops—the low-poly graphics are actually a blessing here. I didn't notice any stuttering or crashes during my session. The Unity WebGL build is lightweight, loads fast, and doesn't demand much from your hardware. Mobile controls work but feel cramped—this is clearly designed for PC first.

Quick Verdict: Pros & Cons

A decent time-waster if you're into car sims and don't mind the budget presentation.

• ✅ Pro: Genuinely satisfying hands-on car repair mechanics—you actually feel like you're maintaining something.
• ✅ Pro: No downloads, no installs—just click and play. Perfect for lunch breaks.
• ❌ Con: The world feels empty and lifeless. More interactive elements or NPCs would help a lot.

Controls

Responsive enough for a browser game, though the first-person item interaction can feel a bit floaty.

• Desktop: WASD to move/drive, E/LMB to pick up items, T to use/exit car, G to drop, F to start engine, C for camera, Shift to run, Space for jump/handbrake, ESC to pause.
• Mobile: Virtual joystick for movement, tap buttons for interactions. Works, but cramped on small screens.
