Don't you just love that fresh car smell as soon as you open the door? What is it? Two of the MK4 Golf's I've owned both had the same new smell which definitely wasn't something you spray, but the Leon I picked up has no smell whatsoever, even though it uses the same materials as the Golf. My 147 also had it's own unique freshness.
I cannot stand that musty smell you get though, my MR2 made me not want to turn on the heaters, but not because there might be something rotting in the vents but because I just imagine years of people dust blowing around me..
The fresh smell makes me feel right at home, but if it's musty then it takes me a while to use the heaters or eat in the car.
I'm not the only one am I?

Minicabs everywhere in the UK always reek of the same, god-awful air freshener. Makes me ill! Of course, that's NOTHING to do with the beers consumed beforehand. Oh no..
Buy yourself the an Airwick Vanilla and Magnolia air freshener and you can make your own home smell like a minicab!I did buy some Autoglym Shampoo and now the car smells like Dove soap, not the smell I was after but I guess you can't replicate that natural smell.
Not a fan of scented trees either, although Opieoils freshener smells lovely.
Incidentally, I'm considering the E39 5 series, what do they smell like? I'd imagine BMW would have a long lasting smell?

The small is usually adhesive and plasticiser.
Older Porsches have a unique smell, which statys forever, after the new smell fades.
No idea why the Seat didn't have it then, and it's newer then the Golf's I had. At least there's not a bad smell I guess.Older Porsches have a unique smell, which statys forever, after the new smell fades.

the smell of my older cars. Leather, petrol and a sort of comforting mustiness!..
My Monaro (2006) already smells like that. An intriguing mix of leather, plastic/rubber, glue and that smell you get when you walk around a fabrication workshop, a kind of metallic and hydraulic oil mix.
the best fragrance type smell I have experienced is the Autoglym Odour Eliminator/ Autofresh sprays. When I clean my cars I spray some in general direction of the cleaned carpets and it lasts a fair few days. I detest cars that have air fresheners on mirrors/ vents/ dash. Looks so 'minicab muppetry'..
