after 16k it still smells new - of course i use a toothbrush to clean out the car every week so there's not much there to hang around and smell up the joint.

e still smells new. The 'new' smell is stronger if I don't drive it for a day or two and then smell it.

I have had my car 16 months, 9000 miles and it no longer smells new.
I have seen advertised "new car smell" air fresheners, and have tried them. All they do is make my Maxima smell like a bathroom. Have any of guys come across a good freshener, that gives off that new smell?

3300 miles or two months (maybe I should get out more?)-- of course it still smells new! I agree, I think my friends notice it more than I do...

My car still smells new and has 9k, but then again the leather seats help. For those who have leather try Meguiar's cleaner it gives u the new car smell all over again.
