I would love to be able to fix and drive cars once we can drive 4x4

I would LOVE to be able to fix and drive the cars in the game. I wouldn't expect to be able to this until we can build and drive the 4x4 truck but I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to be able to fix any car/truck/military vehicle in the game on the roads and be able to drive it, with passengers just like with the in game vehicles.

Just give us a list when we see any car as to what needs to be fixed. I don't really care if they are long lists, longer than the in-game vehicles. It would be absolutely cool to be able to ALL of them running or taking parts from some to get others working. So we'd need to know what and how to strip X, Y and Z from one vehicle and how to repair the vehicle(s) that need those specific parts.

undead legacy does allow you to do precisely that.

Why? If you're reason is because it would defeat the purpose of crafting vehicles, I'd say that maybe vehicle crafting should be reworked to add more value.

I fully agree that we should be able to hotwire/find keys/fix up cars on the road. I'm not a fan of the current system of crafting vehicles because it's always the same 5 vehicles and it's usually always in the same order.

Pop the hood open, have a look around, and assess what's fine and what needs maintenance/repair

One thing I liked about PZ is that I felt the ownership bond with my vehicle. Like, I would care for it, check if anything was wrong with it, be on the look out for parts, etc.

With 7DTD, it's just "wait for the HP to go down and use a repair kit".

Anyway, I think it's unlikely the devs do a vehicle overhaul, and the community doesn't seem to care about adding a better vehicle system (one guy even told me that maintaining a vehicle would be "a nightmare" lol), so yeah. It's probably best to try out that mod the other user suggested because a lot of 7DTD is pretty much "what you see is what you get".

I don't like Undead Legacy as a whole but I love that it lets you repair vehicles you find. Of course, getting the kit to do so is far from easy. I ended up buying a motorcycle from a trader rather than crafting or repairing one.

Also Undead Legacy offers a little bit of variety in vehicles, like there's a variant motorcycle with higher speed but I think less durability, maybe more than one variant actually, can't really remember.

There's more than 1 mod that has repairable vehicles. The most common vehicle mod for 7DTD is Bdub's Vehicles all in one. Some of the overhaul mods use Bdub's Vehicles.

I'm not talking about the vehicles that you can find pieces for and build. I'm talking about the cars that are strewn all over the place.

And so is everyone who replied to you. Some overhaul mods make some vehicles in the gameworld repairable. Not all of them. The general idea is that most are damaged beyond the scope of what the player could do to repair them but some aren't. Some overhaul mods also add a rare chance to find a working vehicle in the gameworld.

Then there are mods specifically about vehicles (including repairable vehicles) rather than being overhaul mods. This one for example:
