New Si Sedan - Car Stank

[reelbg]

Hey, guys, I just got my new sedan this afternoon and I'm loving it. Except for that one little rev hang issue. I find myself blipping the throttle between up shifts like I had to with my quickly dropping STI, and in this thing, the tires spin from 1-2 and 2-3! Even when I try to shift no blip, taking my sweet time, I'm still coming in about 300 RPM above. I hope this is some "feature" I can turn off!

Anyway, back to the main point of my thread. I've always been a bit of a slob with my cars. Like, I'll wash it when the exterior filth becomes a safety hazard. And my interior develops this really nice rustic feeling coat of dust - like a fine patina. And the smell. It just smells like car to me: a mix of sports equipment, whatever takeout food I brought home the night before, and stale coffee.

I want to keep this one nice and clean, at least on the inside, and smelling nice. What are some good products to keep the car smelling fresh inside -- but not like some crazy chemical bomb. Something that's gentle on the nose.

Obligatory it's-too-late-at-night-so-here-it-is-in-the-garage-pics here!

Use CS-X3 air freshener it's really good and you can buy refills on Amazon

Good eye! The LED headlamps were a nice surprise. Is the nav a good feature? I figured the Apple / Android pairing would make it redundant but haven't tried that out yet. Unfortunately, we can't get the performance tire option that you guys have down there, so I had to accept delivery with the all-seasons. I'm going to try to find a tire dealer that will give me a good credit for them against some good sticky summers, because we all run winter tires up here anyway.
