  1. What kind of car does she drive?
  2. What does she drive?
  3. What is she dive?
  4. What is her car?


Does all the sentence mean the same? Which one is better?
 
1 is nice and clear.
2 is very likely to mean 1. but is open to interpretation. In context, an answer to this question could be "A car".
3 is completely wrong.
4 is not good, though it could be used (in poor English and in context) to mean 1.
 
The most natural for me would be "What car does she drive?" The answer will probably involve the make and model. If you ask "What kind of car does she drive?", the answer could be "A big one" or "A pink one" or something similar. That's probably not the answer you're trying to elicit.
 
Are you sure about this one?
Thanks for asking.

While watching a movie, I noticed the woman say to her daughter the following sentence? (Girlfriend is her ex-husband's affair)
What's the girlfriend drive?

The 's' sound after What was a short form of does, not is.
 
Two things:

1) The reason you were asked if you were sure about sentence 3 was not just the use of "What is" but that you spelled "drive" incorrectly.
2) In your original post, you should have written "Do all the sentences mean the same?", not "Does all ..."
