Dealership-grade cabin air filters are worth every penny. Gains in hp AND mpg.
I switched to a Mazda 3 as a daily but I loved the CX-50, CX-5, and no doubt in my mind the Mazda 6 holds its place.\n\nThe layout under the hood was similar to my 13' fusion. Changing oil was easier, engine air filter was easier, cabin air filter was easier.
It is not a 30 second procedure like my Honda's, but is still easy and should not take more than 5 minutes
Cabin air filters are dirt cheap and easy to swap yourself, but people forget about them and shops love to charge stupid amounts of money to replace them for you.
engine and cabin air filters (Honda)
My wife's honda hvac used to get funky smelling from sitting a lot and I started using activated charcoal cabin filters and those helped quite a bit.
Those prices are for genuine filters. Mazda chamrge an effing BOMB for their carbon cabin filters.
the cabin air filter from Honda is a flimsy low-quality part best to get one with a carbon coating. the engine air filter from honda is ok but [rockauto.com](http://rockauto.com) sells the oem equivalent and better.
Given that they're charging $95 for a cabin air filter, it's highly likely that they're overpriced.
On certain mazdas (like my 2006, 2008.5 Mazda3, and 2015 Mazda5) it's NOT a 2 min job. It requires 2-3 hr yoga session to warm up to prep for the job, then another 2hrs trying to get in the right position as to not cramp up while trying to position 2 filters on top of each other in a space that only small children hands can access
