Never? Then why does it have the spot for it? It was designed to have it originally but they had issues. You dont think they could have come to this conclusion before the car hit the market. Dont act like I dont know what I'm talking about with your WRONG and NEVER HAD. Fact of the matter is if the car NEVER had one they wouldn't know there were cooling issues. So how am I wrong? please explain.

so was it a problem that they tested with one type of filter? was any info released or something substantial to make me not want to put a filter in?

From what I gathered there was an overheating problem with the filter installed. They (article) did not get very specific, but I assume it was the AC system that was effected. So, if you live in Canada (my assumption) it would most likely not be as much of a factor as living in Saudi Arabia when it comes to normal operating temperatures. But of course I am a nobody and all this theory is worth about one squirt of duck shit in the real world.

I can only speculate thats why the yaris doesnt have them. The issue decribed was on the scion Tc, its possible that the yaris had the same problem but I haven't seen anything stating the yaris definetly has the same issue.

Just wondering Is it really that important to everybody that the air you breath out side the car is filtered when you are inside the car? If I get a chance I will call Toyota Technical support on monday and see if I can dig up any hard facts.

in case you missed it, were in florida, well we're as in my wife and I.
wildfires, high pollen counts all the time...plus all that circulating into the HVAC system isn't good for the motors/actuators and the blower motor....at least down here I would think it'd be bad for it...

Thats good enough for me, I just get customers that think cabin filters are saving them from certain death. I think they are a nice addition, and i get paid good to change them but most of the cars you have driven in your life didnt have them so "whats the big deal now" was my thoughts. I however living in NY dont have to deal with wild fires and nasty pollen.
