So, as many here are waiting for this content, I decided to make a detailed post about all the good ideas I reard about cars. Some of these ideas are mine and some are from other people. Feel free to add any other ideas in this post.
Let's make our wishes get noticed!
EDIT: Guys, I'm really happy with the new ideas I read about cars in this post. As it is an old post, but it is still the desire of the community, I added the new suggestions and original content already released.

• Fully functional cars: It means we can drive it, Put stuff in the trunk, Location for Woo-hoo, customize it in appearance/performance with mechanical skill and some social interactions.

Improve your mechanics ability for more customization options!

• Some ideas for animations and interactions in the car:

-Encourage yourself in the rearview mirror or touch up makeup.
-Romantically kiss your partner.
-Take a selfie in the car. (Alone or in a group)
-Chat and flirt in the front seats.
-Sit in the car seat and listen to music. (Alone or in a group)
-Woo-hoo.

• Your Sim will need a driver's license to drive safely on the streets.

That is to say: There will be a new driving skill. A driver's license can be purchased at any time as long as you are old enough to drive. You will need schedule a class by cell phone and take the test. (rabbit hole). You will receive your driver's license by mail.
The conditions to pass the test are minimal, that is to say: Your sim may drive poorly at the beginning, even though he has a license.

•The car will need to be washed.

- The car will need to be washed from time to time. The more you use it, the more you need to take care of it.
- You can choose to wash at home to save money. With a new detailed animation of your Sim getting a bucket and sponge to wash the car.
- If you have the Seasons EP and park your car outside the garage, you can save even more time and money leaving it out in the rain. If your sim has the lazy or slob trait, they will be extremely happy with this interaction of having their car "washed" for free and without any effort.
- But if you have time and money to spare, you can take it to a car wash. Your car will stay clean much longer and your sim will gain a positive modlet when riding in it. (Perfectly clean car)
- Cars will also need maintenance. You can do it manually at home or take it to a gas station. The frequency of maintenance may vary depending on circumstances. This tends to happen less often as your Sim improves the car. (You can also make it completely maintenance free if you wish. It can be with points or by the game's options.)

• Drive-in Cinemas in the hills. (Something like the lot of ruins in Windenburg)

A place with romantic aura and perfect for a date. (But of course, if your sim is single or has a family, it's still great entertainment)

Your sim can park in one of the predefined locations on the map. After that, just wait for the movie to start and relax.
When there is a Date Event, your sim will earn points by interacting romanticly with your partner, buying popcorn, commenting on the movie and maybe a Woo-hoo before the end credits. (I would also like to see some shy and exciting interactions before Woo-hoo.)

• Funtional Gas Station

Having a car is really cool, isn't it? But it can also be a nice additional expense for the family, especially when you have a highly customized car.
At the gas station you can service your car (if your level of mechanics is not good enough to do it yourself)
Or just fill with gasoline.
Different cars will have different costs. A cheap car will be much more economical on gasoline and maintenance.

A car is not an object!

-That phrase can be taken a little more seriously by a ambitious and materialistic Sim.
- Gain new interactions with Sims who are extremely careful with their vehicles. (New trait, Vehicle Enthusiast?)
-New Interactions with Personality Traits: Analyze for a scratch.
Your Sim can get a little tense if they find any damage to their precious car. However, Sims with this peculiarity will take care of it much better, reducing damage during traffic and washing it with greater performance. These sims can also get very tense when lending their car to family members.
-Sims can gain a lot of positive or negative modlets.
If your Sim has a materialistic trait, it can be very embarrassing to leave the house with an old, cheap car.
-If you buy a good stylish car, you can show off around, earning many advantages, including fame points. (If you have Get famous EP)
-Depending on what traits you choose and what lifestyle your Sim leads, they won't mind riding in dirty or cheap cars. You can even make some upgrades to reduce gas emissions or alternative fuel source. (Interaction with Eco Lifestyle EP)
- However, some Sims will REALLY hate cars (for some reason), so they will refuse to buy one and will not be impressed by your car either.

-Your Sim can also try to impress other ambitious or materialistics Sims with their fancy cars. This will guarantee you greater possibility of friendship and flirting.

Park on Restaurants and Drive-thru Function

-Incredible car interaction with the Dine Out Game Pack. Place your order at the restaurant without having to leave the car. Just get in the drive-thru queue.

-Restaurants will now have parking lots.
If your restaurant doesn't want to add this, Sim will park the car on the street.

Police cars and their various possibilities for interactions.
The cops are completely forgotten inside The Sims 4, it's time to give them some action!

-The police car can be called upon encountering a thief at home. The policeman will handcuff him and escort him into the car.
-A police officer may also possibly fine you If you are an adult or teenager driving very poorly or without a driver's license. (Whereas there will be a new ability to drive cars and a license)
-More interactions with Parenthood GP: Teens "borrowing" the family car, decreasing your level of responsibility. (without driver's license)

Limosines or Van for Celebrities:

Depending on your level of fame you can choose to ride a Van or a Limosine for special events, such as the Red Carpet or at a VIP party.
Very wealthy sims can also rent a limonise for special events, such as weddings and graduations.
