Weird Burning Smell?
When I drive my car hard-ish or more aggressively, as I exit the vehicle I smell this slight scent of burning rubbery smell. Is this normal?

Is your car new? If so this is normal since its just burning off the oil that was put on it as it was shipped here and what not..

What's the chances that "burning rubbery" smell is your tires? I get a little extra smells when I push any car hard, but the noticeable one is the tires.

Manual transmission? Burnt rubber and burnt clutch can often smell rather similar.

If go all in drive it real hard, i get a burning plastic kind of smell. But it goes away after a while of "slow" driving again.

Ditto, mines stink like burnt after a 30 minute drive for the first 2,500 miles. After that it went away, or maybe my nostril got used to burnt smell. lol

when the car is still new, you will smell the new exhaust, extra sealent burning in, more so when the engine gets a hot temperature for the first few times
