Haha not complaining about the new car smell, I have had the car for 8 months now! =)

I guess it would be a good reason for me to get a big *** air freshener.

 

You need to get your self some JDM Squash!

 

I wish they could replicate that new car smell and bottle it!

 

One word....Febreze!!!!

 

Check the AC/Air vents for a dead animal. I worked on a car that had a dead snake in it. Scared the heck out of me when I found it.

 

I think you're talking about the new car smell - Mine still has it and I love it. It can stay for several months like mine (bought mine in sept 08 and it's still pretty strong when I get in the car now) if you do some of these habitually:

1) Never eat in the car
2) Don't smoke in the car if you do smoke
3) Banish groceries or food that has moderate smells to the trunk
4) Don't overdo it on your perfume/ cologne
5) Don't use car air freshener

I don't really smell the plastics because the leather smell overwhelms it (love the MR!) - I grin everytime I get people riding with me that comment about how the 'new car' smell is still there.

 

Actually, I was thinking of picking yo some MR seats, I think the actual smell comes from the cloth seats and not the actual plastic... my car never had that cool new car smell, or at least what I remember of it.

 

that sucks man....new car and bad smell...try a air freshener

 

My IX still has the new car smell, still hazes the windows after some time. But you'd expect that on a 3 year old car with less than 5000 miles, ha.
When it's hot out and I've had the windows up all day in my ES, I'll open the door and get a wiff of new car. Well... more like new shoe, for some odd reason my ES smelled like a new shoe and not new car.

 

Your post reminded me of an article I read:

Not an Evo, but still a Mitsu.

 

 

So I just started getting this odd smell. Hopefully it goes away soon.
