I just spend the $50 on a K&N filter for my cars. Another $20 gets you the kit for cleaning and re-oiling. $70 for a filter and years worth of filter clean/renew cycles.
Pros: years worth of cycles

Also, use the best filter you can afford and that means K&N (I hate that VW Mann 3D world junk).

Cons: VW Mann 3D world junk

What I usually order with K&n performance oil filter.
A K&N cold air filter will not hurt , as long as you are committed to regularly cleaning & oiling the filter.
Pros: will not hurt
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 60000 km
I also ordered a K&N drop in filter.
Pros: drop in

Upgrade to a K&N filter and a recharge kit. With a washable filter, you simply pop it out, clean it, let it dry and apply the oil... Pop it back in the vehicle... Good to go! Guess what? You SAVED money!!
Pros: washable, saves money
Just installed the K & N filters. Whoever, designed the air filter housings is a complete and utter moron! It is inexcusable at how difficult it is too change out the passenger side filter. What were they thinking. I had to chop with a knife the existing filter (passenger side only) to get it out of the tiny gap that is available. The 'G' clips are not hinged to fold back, so they act as great hooks to snag the filters. Then had to vacuum out the housings to make sure I did not leave any debris before installing the K & N's. One of the main benefits of the K & N's is that they are slimmer that the OEM's and will therefore be easier to access for future maintenance as they will slip in and out of the housings easier. THe reason I bought them is I have had good experiences with them in the past, I live at 10,000 feet and any extra air my engines can get makes a big difference!
Pros: slimmer, easier maintenance
Cons: difficult installation
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
Mine was my oil filter! I used a k&n because they come with a oil change reminder sticker. Leaked like mad.
Pros: oil change reminder sticker
Cons: leaked like mad
Vehicle:
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
IMO they're not worth it. Modern intake systems flow fairly well, adding a K&N filter will provide almost no benefit. Hell even adding an aftermarket intake these days add nothing but sound. they can also get oil residue on the MAF sensor which can be expensive to replace.
Cons: no benefit, oil residue
Vehicle:
Mazda
