Many Yarii came without that. You can buy the Toyota one, or for a few dollars you can make several from a furnace air filter. There is a DIY, I'll try to find it.

you can make your own, it's easy:

I have made my own (bailouts thread) and glad that I did. Change them every 5,000 miles and suprised at how dirty they become.

Did your Yaris come with a Cabin Filter?
Apparently mine did not.
Anyone else? or did Toyota got cheap over a $12 filter.

Most come without it. There is a DIY to cut up a furnace filter (makes several replacements) for super cheap.

After 45 years of driving cars with no cabin air filter and since i drive with windows down most of the time this cabin airfilter is just a money making gimmick for the dealer or auto parts companies. I drive without one.

My 2007 didn't have one from the factory.
I put one in myself as I feel it keeps some of the dirt from getting into the heating system. I found it amusing when I got a Change your Cabin Air Filter deal coupon from my dealer. |

My 2010 didn't, but there's quite a few diy posts on our forum, which I followed. Here's a few;

However most do find a cabin filter very worthwhile. If your air is so clean perhaps you are also wasting money on engine air filters and they are a scam? |
