I found rockauto has a variety of cabin air filters for the Yaris if you want to order it online. You can usually find a discount code off retailmenot.

Checked the filter in my 07' today and it was very dirty. My guess is it's the original and 3 years old now. There are many brands available on line, which do you folks rate as good or bad?

That's what I did. I have forgotten the make of the filter but it has a separate charcoal filter and another separate washable green colored filter with an individual top and bottom plastic criss(sp?)-crossed "holder". Pretty sure it's by 3M.

I did the DIY version as well. I bought one home filter and got what? 8 out of that one as I remember. I've only used three or four so far. Not bad for $20. They work like a charm too. I purchased the best home HEPA filter 3M had at the store.

Napa's import line (Altrom) for teh win! $8.50

Full-flow & nice, tight fit. No duct tape frame.
I'd be afraid the Toyota tech would laugh at me if I did this mod.
