about the smell,
i would guess it could be the clutch. but i have really smelled this in my WRX only after very hard driving.
i think it has to do wih my beating on the transmission, having come from a rear-wheel ///M3. in any case i have noticed this sort of "burnt dust" smell...
just a thought, and you said you were taking it easy too. maybe just the surface coating of oil on the parts etc.
here's a funny story, when i first test-drove the WRX last year, the crazy sales guy let me take out a car that was still wrapped in plastic! i do not know if it was even prepped for driving, but that thing stunk bad when i got through with a little test ride! i felt bad for the thing.
anywho... have fun
