Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Mazda
I once got an after market replacement and hud was blurry and not usable. Insurance finally approved OEM.
Pros: HUD usable
Cons: HUD blurry, not usable
My insurance made me go after market and it took 3 windshields before OEM was approved. The HUD was blurry or on a slat. Or both. It gave me a headache. Once the OEM was in it was perfect again.
Pros: HUD perfect
Cons: HUD blurry, gave headache
Last time I had a windshield replaced by Safelite, they used OEM glass from Mazda. I had to go to my dealer to calibrate the safety systems, but that was before they started advertising that they can now do that.
Pros: OEM glass used
Cons: calibration needed dealer
Vehicle:
Mazda
I got a rock chip in my brand new cx50 on a highway, thankfully it was small enough to be patched up by a professional
Pros: patchable chip
Cons: got a rock chip

ABSOLUTELY, I have had my cx5 for two weeks and got hit by two rocks on a road trip, both caused huge cracks in the windshield. I was actually pretty impressed with how fragile the glass is.
Cons: fragile glass, huge cracks
Vehicle:
Mazda
My 2019 CX5 had 3 cracks in the first year. Had 7 in total by the time I replaced it last year at Safelite.
Cons: cracks in the windshield

I’m on my fourth windshield so far. I try to give semi‘s a wide berth and have a respectable following distance, but no luck. Worst was having to replace the windshield twice within a year.
Cons: windshield replaced multiple times
Vehicle:
Mazda
The OEM one seems quite fragile.
Cons: quite fragile

My previous car was a ‘21 Mazda 3. The factory windshield was SO fragile in my opinion. Granted I live in AZ where rock chips are extremely common. I had 3 chips that quickly turned into 3 huge cracks within about a 6 month time frame.
Cons: very fragile, prone to cracks
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I've had 2 cx5's and they seem cursed with windscreen chips. First one had a similar sized chip within a couple months of owning, 2nd one had a chip that would fail the MOT, so got it repaired, then a week later got another chip slightly above the repaired spot! Never had a car where the windscreen loves being stoned this much!
Cons: prone to chips, fragile
Vehicle:
Mazda
