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

RockAuto even as a Canadian. 2025 Crosstrek cabin filters are $62 at the dealership. NAPA sells WIX filters for $40. RockAuto sells them for $13 CAD. Only issue is having to order a fair amount of stuff to offset shipping. But worth it.

Pros: cheap price

Cons: shipping cost

It's not just the price/range keeping me away from this... I saw the video on changing a cabin air filter on this thing.

If that's how the air filter was engineered, I have my doubts about the rest of the vehicle.

Cons: doubts about engineering
