I have a Honda Jazz/Fit ss a runabout. At about 5 years old it started fogging, despite having clumate control always on.

I changed the filter in minutes, having bought one on Amazon.
Problem solved.

I’ve used Wix cabin filters for every vehicle we’ve had for years. Zero problems.
Pros: zero problems, reliable
the cabin air filter from Honda is a flimsy low-quality part best to get one with a carbon coating. the engine air filter from honda is ok but [rockauto.com](http://rockauto.com) sells the oem equivalent and better.
Pros: oem equivalent, better filter
Cons: flimsy, low-quality part
2) Cabin/engine filter ( $210) buy the filters elsewhere for $40ish. Spend the 10 min to do it at home.
