Go for the K&N cabin filter and you'll never go back to those paper ones.
K&N cabin filter benefits:
* Reusable and washable.
* The static charge on the filter captures way more dust, germs, and bacteria.
* You can breathe better and less dust that makes it through your car vents.
Pros: reusable, washable, captures dust/germs, better breathing
The k&n air filter is significantly thinner.
Pros: significantly thinner
I personally have the k&n filter on my 2010 Forester and recently got the reusable cabin filter and have not had any problems.
Pros: no problems
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have one in both my Forester and wife's Crosstrek. Performance increase? Meh. On my XT it didn't matter, but I did find that the Crosstrek's acceleration from a stop increased nicely. I've had one on my Jeep for over 200k miles with no problems.
Pros: increased acceleration
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 200000 km
I use K&N filters on 3 of my vehicles - my '74 G30 350 V8 Chevy Van tow vehicle, my '93 RX-7, and my F2000 racecar. On the racecar, it is a required spec part required for all F2000 cars using the Zetec engine. In 14 race seasons (~100 races) of use it has caused no issues. My engine builder says my engine always looks good when they get it for a refresh. On the RX-7, it was part of an induction upgrade (the OE intake was very restrictive) and provided a noticeable power increase. It has caused no issues in the ~60K miles it's been in use. On the Chevy van, the OE air cleaner was way too small and restrictive for towing purposes. The K&N provided a significant benefit in gas mileage and power. It has been in use for ~200K miles and has caused no issues. YMMV.
Pros: noticeable power increase, improved gas mileage

K&N wiper blades. Honestly, pretty fucking decent on my gti. Color me impressed, no streaks still 6 months in. Curious to see how they handle winter.
Pros: pretty decent, no streaks
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I'm still running my K&N oil filter, though I've got a Mahle that I ordered along with the ABA pump.
Welp never buying K&N air filters again.
Cons: never buying again
Most cars in my house get cheap bulk ordered filters off RockAuto. Except the STI, that one has been getting K&N and soon switching to Wix. I’d never allow the oem trash cardboard filter near my car.
Pros: switching to Wix
Cons: oem trash cardboard filter
Vehicle:
Subaru
