...how do I get it?

When I collected my (11-year-old) Focus from the trader back in August it had an ace aroma of 'new car'. 3000 miles and one lads holiday to Wales on and it now smells of beach, stale McDonalds and general grimness.

A bit of a ghey question I know, but I have enough of the oil/hot engine/fried electrics/imminent failure scent in the MG, so just 'new' would do me fine!

The fact that it is now far from new may scupper your new car smell plans.

I was joking wink

The smell of leather seats will make a car smell new for a while. I do think it is hard to get a long term new smell from any car with fabric seats TBF.

I don't know about car fresheners because I've never used them.
