"A car was driven away " is correct. A car drove away is not, because the car didn't drive itself. "A man drove away. A woman drove away. These would be OK because it is the person who is doing the driving. Hope this helps.

A car cannot drive, and therefore you would think that it cannot drive away. But it is common English usage to say "a car drove away", and it does sound correct. Therefor it must be a figure of speech, metaphor probably.
