I picked up my new SMART on 4/1/09, and I love everything about it. It had the SMART new car smell for approximately 3 months. Which by the way didn't smell like your average new car smell to me but it was okay. In the last few weeks, my SMART has a bad odor. Like a hint of new car smell mixed with.........(here are what some people think it smells like) reptile poop, dead insect or reptile, spoiled or rotten food

. The odor is strongest when the car has been closed up for hours in the hot Florida sun. I have sniffed every inch of the inside of my SMART (carpet, seats, dash, doors). Everything smells good and normal. I've never spilled anything in it. No one else drives it without me in there. No smelly people ride in it. Only one very clean fresh smelling Chihuahua rides in it occassionally. My SMART is way too cute to be smelly. I'm in it several times a day and this is driving me crazy. Has anyone else experienced a bad odor in their SMART? Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this bad odor? I appreciate any advice, comments, etc.
Thank you,
Nance
