Windshield OEM Honda or OEM Mazda
I have a 2020 CX5 GT and had to replace the windshield. It took two months to get the OEM windshield. It was worth the wait.
Pros: worth the wait
Vehicle:
Mazda
I found an independent shop who said they could do it without recalibrating - they were very careful when removing and reinstalling. I never had any issues after with smart cruise, lane keep, etc. They also claimed they didn’t need OEM glass, but we paid extra for OEM in case we needed to get calibrated at the dealer.
Pros: no issues with driver assist, careful installation
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Had a 16 CX-5 GT and the windshield cracked really bad on the highway when a Corvette zoomed right pass it. This was in Florida.
Cons: cracked really bad
Vehicle:
Mazda

I have a 2018 cx-5 and got a chip in my windshield after about a year. Just last week, I noticed yet another chip in the windshield. Frustrating to say the least.
Cons: multiple chips, frustrating
Vehicle:
Mazda
In the first three months after buying my Mazda 3 I got 3 rock chips. Replaced the windshield, got another rock chip a week later.
Cons: multiple chips, chipped after replacement
Vehicle:

At least for NA the newer generation mazdas 2019+, which have an edgeless design are more prone then any previous generation to crack or spiderweb. I see it all the time on the Mazda 3, cx-5 and cx-30. My girlfriend's windshield cracked after sitting in the garage over a weekend. The new premium look is nice but the build issues.
Pros: nice premium look
Cons: prone to crack, build issues
Replaced the windshield on my 2023 CX-50 within the first 6 months. I've never had to replace a windshield on any of my previous Mazdas.
Cons: needed early replacement
Vehicle:
Mazda
We didn’t get any cracks in the few years we had a CX-30 but it’s definitely on the softer side as far as hardness goes. There were so many small nicks like any and all debris would sandblast it.
Pros: no cracks
Cons: soft, many small nicks
Vehicle:
Mazda
