I changed cabin air filter on my Model S few weeks ago after 70k km and to my surprise it was clean like it was there for only a month.
Pros: very clean after 70k km
Mileage: 70000 km
I have just replaced the cabin air filter in 2025 FW and was really surprised as how thin the filter was. In a couple of places I could see through it. I went to AutoZone and got a $25 filter from STP which looked much more solid than the original OEM.
Pros: more solid than OEM
Cons: thin filter, see through
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
The cabin filter isn't difficult on any year fusion. It takes me 10-15 minutes. The engine air filter is 2-3 minutes. You can buy the filters for $60 or less.
Pros: easy, quick replacement
Cons: beware super cheap ones
Vehicle:
Ford Fusion
The cabin air filter is a multi-layer one that filters everything (dust, pollen, mold, odors) which can reduce air flow, but I really doubt anyone is struggling with air flow given how much air the blower moves on this vehicle.
Pros: filters everything, multi-layer
Cons: can reduce air flow
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
I personally buy it direct from the dealer, it is $45, but fits perfectly
Pros: perfect fit
Vehicle:
Nissan Sentra
Besides the need for washing and re-conditioning, these filters also have the drawback that they were originally designed for increased airflow to the engine. For one, we don't have an engine to begin with. What we need is good cabin air. In this sense, the increased airflow is counterproductive as it lets more "stuff" through than regular filters. If you want the best cabin air, I would recommend a carbon-coated cabin filter. I have been using and have had no issues with air restriction, and I believe the air is better air compared with the other two vehicles in our family (but they are ICE vehicles, so who knows).
Pros: better air quality
Cons: increased airflow, needs washing

I just replaced the cabin air filter on my 2005 Outback, and I’m pretty sure it still had the original filter from 20 years ago. It was a bit of a job to get to it (remove some trim and the glove box).
Cons: difficult to access
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback

Cons: reduced airflow

They broke my damper on the glove box after being forced on a cabin filter change( that they charge $60 btw). Now I change the engine and cabin filter on my own.
Cons: broke glove box damper
