My Favorite Car

Build fix and drive in a nostalgic open world car sim

My Favorite Car is a hands-on car mechanic and driving simulator that asks you to earn every kilometer you travel. Instead of dropping you into a garage full of shiny sports cars, it starts you with a rusted, incomplete wreck and lets you slowly transform it into something worth cruising.

The core of the experience is the restoration process. You’ll crawl around the vehicle, hunting for missing parts, bolting components together, and troubleshooting why the engine still refuses to start. It feels methodical and rewarding rather than rushed, and fans of detailed mechanic sims will appreciate the step‑by‑step logic behind each repair.

Once your first clunker finally roars to life, the focus shifts to the open world. The setting – a quiet rural town inspired by the late Soviet era – gives the game a distinct atmosphere. Dusty roads, modest houses, and long stretches of countryside make every drive feel like a small road trip instead of a sprint between icons on a map. Jobs scattered around the world provide cash to buy more vehicles and fund future projects, so there’s always a clear reason to get back behind the wheel.

Driving itself leans toward semi‑realistic, with cars feeling heavy and occasionally unwieldy, especially before you’ve fixed or upgraded them. This can be immersive, but newcomers may face a learning curve and some early frustration. The promised visual and technical upgrades are still being expanded, so customization options, while present, are not yet as deep as genre veterans might hope.

If you enjoy slow-burn progression, tinkering with engines, and exploring a quietly nostalgic world, My Favorite Car delivers a surprisingly atmospheric and satisfying garage-to-highway journey.
