You may want to have the dealer check your heater core.

i've smelt it before. I'm not sure if it is other cars around mine, or mine actually. It is only very rarely i smell it.

Maybe there's some coolant on the engine block somewhere when the radiator(or resovair) was refilled. Give it some time to burn off, or clean your engine bay of all derbis, see what happens.

I know my friend's mustang smells like antifreeze all the time, but thats ford.
