just wondering how long i can expect to have that new car smell? each person that goes into my car is enamored by the wonderful smell of a new camaro. just wondering, do you c5'ers, 2010 or 11 owners, still have that smell in your car?

IDK, depends on what foreign smells you keep out. I bought my car on APR142010. Still has new car smell today.

My guess is , you keep the fast food out, the dirty people out, and clean regularly, expect the smell to last a while :]

You can also buy a bottle of "new car smell". A small spritz every now and then works wonders.

Ever since ny dog Ralph marked his territory the day me and the wife bought her home it hasn't smelled new

New smell still here (wonder if it is partly the leather). 7 months

nUcLeArEnVoY · 04-26-2011, 07:00 PM

My new smell is still only there if you get inside while it's raining.

Just fired our 2010 up and she still smelt brand new @ 9600km and a winters storage

As evan said, keep foreign smells out. Bought mine in June of last year, and it still smells new. My previous new car, a Mini Cooper, smelled new for about 2 years.

had a grand national for 12 years and it still had the new car smell.

That may have a lot to do with it, both mine still smell new after 18 months ...

13,000 miles later everyone who gets in my car says "IT SMELLS LIKE SHAVING CREAM IN HERE"

I really.. don't get it.. But hey, better than nothing.
