I'll be changing both my cabin filter and engine air filter for the first time in the Sonic @ 50,000 miles.
Kinda scared to see what the cabin filter looks like but I have to think the engine filter isn't too bad since I'm still getting 42+ MPG. For all I know the cabin filter is fine too though being I use recirculate so much.

I've changed mine twice and it was pretty dirty both times.

There were a few bug carcasses in it. That qualifies as dirty.

Dirty meaning what? It's a filter. When your windows are down you are breathing tons of unfiltered air.
I literally have no intention of ever changing it.
Eh,
I'm a pu$$y when it comes to dust, I'll own up to that and my windows are almost never down. I use my A\C when it's in the 50s out and my heat when it's colder.
As far as never plan on changing it, if you're going to go that way remove it. It plugging up with dust is just restricting things.

Again, once you get where you are going and step out of your car, you are breathing unfiltered air. Unless you are wearing a SARS mask everywhere you go like a Chinese woman, you're negating any health benefits of avoiding "natural" air in the limited time spent in your car.
There are plenty of other health concerns in this world to avoid already, I can't justify obsessing about breathing the atmosphere. I don't want to live like that. Sometimes stressing about things is more unhealthy than the actual things themselves.
This of course is my own narrow perspective.

Driving down a road following cars stirs up dust, especially near construction zones or on dirt roads. This is not the case typically when I am out of the car.
Allergies, yes, sometimes when out of the car my allergies bother me but why deal with it in the car if I can avoid it?
Nothing to stress about, it's a $20 filter. Either take it out, or replace it.

I bet you do.
I got into the habit of never putting my windows down back when I had a good system in my truck. I wanted to hear my music not wind and I didn't want others to hear my music, much.....

Oh, now who's the pu$$y.
Speaking of, imagine if jet engines were built like our waterpumps?
