That's how Maya is. If I sweet-talk her patiently I can get her to climb into the car to go home from somewhere, but she won't jump in to leave. Once she gets in, she's fine, and she does enjoy the trips to the park and such.

I suppose she has a bad memory associated with a car ride (hm, perhaps the one that took her away from her previous family?) and it will take a while to convince her that the car leads to good things.
