I noticed after driving it for like 15 miles, toward the end of the ride before I went home I smelled a rubbery/smokey smell. I opened the hood and noticed the smell still. I turned the car off and couldn't figure out what it was..

Any ideas? Should I take it back to the dealer?

 

Thats the normal smell of new parts breakin in...enjoy that aroma while you can...cause you just popped your G's cherry...

 

Ok it got me worried I thought something was burning and I had to take it to dealer

 

Thats another thing thats normal..."New G-Owners paranoia".. I give you 3 months.

 

I had the same thing... It stopped after a while

 

I'm going to put that in a box, and SLOWLY walk away...

O.o

 

its normal

 

Normal

 

yup..got the same thing too...thought it was my tires breakin' in...it's all good...just give it a few more miles and you'll never notice it again..

 

It's the undercoating burning off....completely normal, had it on other new cars of different makes. The "other new car smell" -- enjoy it while it lasts.

 

i LOVE that smell! lol

only times i get to smell that is on a new car, and my 94 integra, whenever i beat the **** out of her lol

and the day i brought my new car home, my mom tells me, the car smells like its burning!! my other friend tells me the exact same thing... i reply, dont u just love that smell?? lol

 

i get that all the time?? it smells like somethings burning rite? lol i REALLY hope we're talking about the same thing

 

yea it smelled like a burning smell.


I thought my sh%t was already messed up, damn new cars.

 

I'm at 80 miles (over several days in 100+ heat), mine seems to have burned-off most of the smell. Garage just smells like a new car now when I walk in.

 

You have a 6mt, so its probably you burning up the clutch
