No, your car is not equipped with a cabin air filter.

What is a cabin air filter, you mean like a recirculation system?

a filter inside the car for the heat and A/C to run through.

Think if someone put a filter by the A/C condenser above the passenger footwell. That's basically what a cabin air filter should be - it filters recirculated or outside air. I've heard of people squeezing a filter into that area but I think they removed the condenser to make room (for the filter) and free up some weight (because they're nuts).

No 92 Civic came with a cabin air filter from the factory. Someone would have to retrofit one in, which isn't easy.

thanks, that's all I wanted to know.
Actually when I turn on my heat I always get a nice fresh burst of pine needles smell, which I like
No need to clean it if ya like it!

Isn't that just the foamy back-side of the flap that controls air recirculation or fresh air?

In the US 7th gens have them, but in at least some markets in Europe 6th gens had them too.

here's the OEM dome light/cabin air filter for EG sedan. It will also fit EG hatches w/o sunroof.

The purifier came from japan, we're just lucky we got it. I think it's very rare

just push the button and the purifier will suck the air (inside the cabin) on the large grill opening (which has a foam filter) and blow the recycled air on the other side

That's pretty damn nifty...although I don't really see a huge point in it...I mean really if you think about it a little more in depth than just "oh it purifies air"...pointless. Looks cool though.
