The filter is located at the rear seat, you have to remove it first, then you will see a cap attach with some screws. Inside that cap you`ll find the fuel filter. Before you change the fuel filter you have to release the fuel pressure first. To do that, first find the FUEL PUMP RELAY in the main fuse box located in the engine. Once you located open the fuel door and take off the cap and leave it open. Start the engine, take off the FUEL PUMP RELAY and leave the engine stop itself, when this occurs turn off the key, the you can take off the filter and changed it

i am not positive on the fuel filter location on the forieng cars but thy usually put them in the back by the fuel tank
i hope this helps you in some way.
but yes all cars have fuel filters

The fuel filter is located under the rear seat in a compartment above the fuel tank. Also, a filter sock at the base of the fuel pump located 
in the fuel tank.

On 2001 models the fuel filter is part of the fuel pump. To replace the fuel filter, disconnect the negative battery cable, remove the back seat and take fuel pump cover off to get to the fuel pump.Then you have to 1) disconnect the electrical connector from fuel pump/fuel sending unit, 2) disconnect the high pressure hose and the fuel return hose from the fuel pump and 3) remove the fuel pump mounting flange screws. You can then lift the fuel pump and replace the filter. 
Good luck and hope this helps

At the rear of the car near the gas tank, you'll find the fuel filter. Simply unscrew it and screw on the new filter. Relieve the fuel pressure before removing the old filter. To do this, remove the gas cap and at the engine you'll find the schrader valve on the fuel rail, press it. The schrader valve is found on the fuel rail.
