Pros: easy to change
Cons: expensive at dealership

I think it was my 80s bronco, like changing a cabin air filter. Undo hoses in engine bay, open glove box, open a door and slide it out and slide the new 1 in, attach hoses, close it up. Did it in less than 10min.
Pros: easy to replace, quick installation
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
Bought a new set of tires, and a cabin filter. That's it.
Pros: new set of tires
Vehicle:
Ford
Unexpectedly low maintenance costs (my cost just skyrocketed because I replaced my windshield wipers whereas to date in three years I'd only had to change the cabin air filter a few times).
Pros: low maintenance costs

I have a Honda Jazz/Fit ss a runabout. At about 5 years old it started fogging, despite having clumate control always on.
I found that the cabin air filter was filthy. ( despite it supposedly being changed at dealer services)
I changed the filter in minutes, having bought one on Amazon.
Problem solved.
Pros: Problem solved
Cons: cabin air filter was filthy
Vehicle:
Honda
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
Lightning here, so far just rotating tires and a new cabin filter.
Pros: new cabin filter
Vehicle:

Change your cabin air filter for the bad smell. Could be clogged as well causing less air flow.
Pros: less air flow
Cons: bad smell
Vehicle:
Ford
LHM Ford pulled this on me recently too. Had a bunch of 80k mile maintenance done that I didn’t want to do myself, and the guy called me up telling me our cabin air filter was filthy and really needed replacing.
Cons: filthy, needed replacing

Ford
Mileage: 80000 km
