Walk up to the vehicle doors, you should see a green highlight appear. This shows you which part of the car you're interacting with (doors, hood, or trunk).

Press E next to a vehicle door when you see the green highlight appear and you should enter, unless the car is locked in which case you'll hear a little sound of your character trying the door handle.

Similarly, you can press V next to a vehicle to bring up the vehicle radial menu. This will show you a handful of various options, I believe there is an option to enter the car from that menu too but you may need to be next to a door for it to show up

Good luck!

EDIT: As an afterthought, figured I should mention that you should also check the radial menu while inside the vehicle, it gives additional options that don't appear when you're not in the car (like adjusting the radio or AC/heater, hotwiring, etc)

Hope you're still enjoying the game OP. You killing all those zombies now? Seems like you're getting the hang of things :D

You must also be facing the car. When I first started, I had trouble getting in to cars quickly. I find that it sometimes helps to zoom in the camera a bit.

There is a green interact highlighted box if you are standing next to a car door/boot and pressing E interacts with that, if the highlight isn't there you probably aren't close enough or in the right spot (or it is occluded by the car itself because of the view angle). Holding V to get the radial menu works if you just happen to be near the vehicle and will auto path to the appropriate interaction point for whatever you are trying to do.

Just be aware that sometimes the door stays open (if you drive off quickly) and there is no visual clue about that. Wait for the "door click" sound.

YES! Listen for the double sound when getting in, the door open sound followed by a door close. Can't tell if you hood or trunk are open either. :steamsad:

I hope that some of their cash reinvestment into build 42 will be spent on animator time to make door animations. So many people would enjoy that I imagine.

Yeah, back in the 90s people needed to think and understand. Today almost everything is dumbed down for the casuals.
