Owner reviews for cabin filter
Manufacturers
Comparisons
As a gzg50 owner, I will say: valve cover gaskets, coil pack plugs, suspension bags leaking, alternator, various small electronic gremlins i.e. headrest motors, seat warmers etc. I've had mine for almost 2 years and it's been the most reliable vehicle I've owned. Mine had a very faint cigarette smell but after changing the cabin filter and cleaning the interior I can't even tell anymore. Best car ever made.
Pros: most reliable vehicle
Cons: suspension bags leaking
Vehicle:
Toyota Century
I use WIX for every car I've owned for the past 10 years. Good quality, and not overly expensive
Pros: good quality, inexpensive
The K & N ones are very nice quality and make sense if you are going to keep the car for many miles. Once you buy them you will look at it and think man all the other ones are bad quality.
Pros: nice quality, long lasting
I would change my own cabin filter...seems EZ breezy....
Pros: EZ breezy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
My daily full service from BMW was €800 ($860). Got it done with indy for €287 ($310) using approved Castrol LL04 oil, and Hengst fuel, oil, air, and cabin filters.
Pros: approved oil, cheaper service

Vehicle:

OEM engine and Bosch HEPA for cabin as this will be transporting my kids around and only the best for them.
Pros: best for kids
Every 6 months to a year you need to replace the cabin filter and clean the evaporator.
Pros: preventative maintenance
Cons: a bit of pain
The aftermarket ones like Fram with charcoal have noticeably restricted airflow for me. As I understand it, using the thick ones that restrict airflow can cause issues with the blower motor and resistor overheating and failing since there's not enough airflow to keep them cool (similar to operating with clogged filter).
Cons: noticeably restricted airflow
