Yeah, you must have a super sensitive sniffer or something is wrong. I can smell someone sucking on a cancer stick in slow moving traffic five cars ahead of me, but can't smell my car's exhaust. I don't drive anywhere that has a bunch of pedestrian traffic, but I can't say I've ever had anyone say anything (and if they did, I'd be saying something back).
We have diesel pickups running around here all over, too, so maybe we're all just used to it, LOL. But I have too many customers with deleted CRs and have driven a TON of them all over the place as well as the ones I've owned and never has it been an issue nor has anyone complained. In fact, the multiple CR TDI owners once the first is deleted they want the second one done right away usually (and in some cases, their third)*.
*of course I'm not doing them, that would be illegal.
