Ok, you have a point, but I would say it's really for the dust. When dust starts accumulating in the hard-to-reach areas of the vents, it looks nasty.

That's great!

I also had no idea about this dust issue. So who is going to be first to figure out which filter we get and then make a little DIY on how to install it?

I've taken apart the glove box and there is a door for the cabin filter but no filter should be the same size as one of the other Nissan's guess they were trying to save some weight

Has anyone tried to see if a standard Nissan cabin filter fits?

Some cars have 'Charcoal' filter to remove the smell.
