I haven't been driving it as much lately. I go through spurts with my quest and my festiva. There is a definite festiva smell. Maybe a small variation in 88-89 interior smell and 90-93 but there is a smell that IS festiva. It gives me a rush of good feelings/memories. This of course precludes dirty moldy yucky interiors. I had to say that. But man festivas smell soooooooo good.

It's the dried out plastic panels! LOL
Some cars have their own smell. Think of a 70's-80's Volvo

I really have not thought about how the DeathEgg smells. I will try to notice later when I get in to go to work.
I know old VW's have a smell, which I love. I get in my '69 Fastback, and it has that specific smell (odor? fragrance?) that all old VW's seem to have.If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

I think it may be the horsehair padding in the seats. I almost hate to reupholster it, I may lose the smell!If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

Mine smells like a hayfield at the moment. Used it to pick up a couple of bails of straw for garden mulch. Who needs a truck anyway.
Tho, I will admit to opening this thread with just a bit of trepidation. There were so many directions this thread could have been going, with that title.Last edited by batstiva; 06-12-2010, 02:56 PM.

Mid '90s and up Mercedes' (especially the M class) have the most distinct (and strong) smell of any car I've driven. It's almost like... I wanna say crayons. hard to describe. And no amount of air freshener, tobacco or any other odour can completely mask it.
Not a bad smell though.Comment

I love getting into mine at the end of the day. Nothing smells worse than a rental car that's just been retired from the rental fleet.
When I got mine, It smelled like a wood pile (the previous owner used it to haul and store firewood). After pulling the interior apart and cleaning everything. it now has a smell like an old hot rod kept in an old garage. I love it.Festiva: Because even my dog can build a Honda.

Got in my car today; it just smells....old.
Hyundai's from around 2000 had a really bad odor, of the chemicals in the carpets or something. Don't know if they're any better these days.If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.
