I had it the first few days of ownership. It will go away. No worries.

Zero funny smells after about 3k miles. Give it time, check under the hood periodically if the smell is really strong (you never know right?).

It's the rust/paint protection that is sprayed in the engine bay during construction of the car. This happens on almost every new vehicle I've ever test driven.

Mine stuck around to about 10k then decided to retire, they still murmur dissent every once and awhile but for the most part are decent comrades.

I've noticed my crickets went away. I did have them before and they were annoying as hell. I haven't changed gas stations so maybe the fuel mixture that is coming out of the refineries is a bit different. Anyways, didn't mean to jack the thread.
