My car had a burning smell for 2-3 months, but it wasn't strong and it was mostly new clutch smell mixed with new car scent.
It is, but I've already familiarized myself with the smell of clutch and I'm pretty sure this isn't clutch. I had a burning smell for the first couple of months too, but I've had this thing since August 28th and haven't had this smell before. Pretty sure this isn't the clutch. It smells more like burning plastic or something than clutch/brakes.

That being said, I can turn the car on and let it run tomorrow morning for a few minutes without driving it and see if I notice it.
