i have a 2007 Yaris, its still in very good working condition after 20,000 miles (yes young i know) but heres the thing:

when i bought it new in 07, after driving it for a few weeks, when the winter set in, i noticed this antifreeze smell coming through the vents.

this smell would go on for about 3 mins, then dissapear completely.

I took it to the dealer, had it checked and rechecked. they said nothing wrong, checking myself too.

checked, no leaks in parking spots, nothing.

so, i ignored it, and it went away eventually, but its now happening again.

i read this problem happens to older cars with 100l+ miles because of a bad heater core, but nobody can figure out why it happens to new or newer fresh cars.
 
yeah it could be the heater core, its not to big of a problem, you smell it through the vents cause cars use the hot antifreeze from the motor to warm air then it blows in the car giving you heat, and if the heater core starts to leak it will go in the air and push that smell out the vents
