I need to replace my pollen filter. The charcoal option is $27 more expensive (at Suncoast). Is it worth the money? I don't have allergies or any thing like that.

I've always thought your in a car, outside, exhaust, new car smell etc.
Do you really plan on always driving with the windows up on recirculated air?

I personally don't see the need as most of the time I'm driving with windows & roof open.
They don't call it fresh air
for nothing.

I think the charcoal/pollen filters are worth te extra money. You live in DE, lots pollen. If nothing else the interior will stay cleaner.
