I'm guessing nobody outside the Honda Insight community knows what I'm referring to, but that intact plastic bar means nobody has ever changed the cabin filter in this 20 year old car. Gonna be interesting to see what it looks like. Air flow out the vents doesn't seem all that restricted except maybe on high.
I've got me a 20 year old?

By 'intact', do you mean it's supposed to be broken when you change the filter, or removed and not put back?

You can’t just unbolt or unscrew it?
I've had two many years ago but back then cabin filters were crude, just screens on the windows. 
Yeah, I did this on my folk's '98 Accord. Pain to get to.
The engineers didn't think that one through eh?
It's molded in to the dash.
It's rather anti-climactic. Was expecting more gross.
I was expecting 20 yo hot blonde college girl...

be honest. you thought the title referred to an oil filter.......cuz it's bitog.
I don’t even know if I own a car with a cabin filter?? My research shows my 1994 ford e150 does not have one. My 1990 Toyota 4x4 pickup I have no idea??
same with my 2015 Toyota Yaris??? No idea I just picked it up this week.

Your van and truck don’t. Your Yaris does.
The original owner of the Insight probably didn't know either.
One could say he had no Insight.

Nope. You cut it out and throw it away. It has spots marked where to cut.
