Cabin filter clogged – symptoms besides smell?
Heater takes longer to warm up and AC isn't as cold lately. Weak airflow from vents too, even on high fan. No odd smells yet, but suspect the cabin filter is blocked. Common on older cars?

Yes, restricted cabin filter reduces blower output and makes climate control less effective- air struggles to pass through, so vents feel weak and temps take longer to adjust. Common on cars over 5-6 years if not changed regularly. I had weak flow on my aging Civic; pulled the filter and it was packed solid with leaves/dust. Replaced with a new one from https://elartcom.eu/categories/cabin-air-filters-25 - they carry standard and high-flow styles for Honda. New filter restored strong airflow instantly, heater blasts hot quick, AC chills faster. No more waiting 10 minutes for warmth. Simple fix that makes a big difference in comfort. If airflow is your main complaint, start here- their selection matches most models well.
