Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM Audi
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
Mine cost me $1117 to replace and it cracked in that same spot! I wanted an oem one so that’s why I cost that much!
Pros: oem replacement
Cons: expensive

Mazda
At first they put a non-OEM windshield, couldnt calibrate the camera behind the review mirror, went back a week later and got OEM. No issues for me.
Pros: No issues
I went through 3 windshields before they agreed to pay for OEM because the HUD was blurry or to high or never would get level. Once we got an OEM it was perfect.
Pros: HUD perfect, level display

I just bought a 2024 CX30 and I wasn't even behind anyone when a rock hit my windshield. Didn't see where it hit so I thought whew!, safe! On my way back home, on that same road, I see a long crack form from the side of my windshield. I didn't even hear a rock hit. I checked it when I got out and you can't even see where a rock hit at all! I've had this car 2 months! my old car, Mazda3, had 2 tiny spots where rocks had hit & I was able to fill those so they wouldn't run but this one didn't give me a chance to repair.
Cons: cracked easily, unrepairable crack

My windshield on my 2023 Mazda3 hatchback turbo got cracked from road debris. I had an auto glass company come install a new one, my insurance paid for it. I specifically chose an auto glass company that would use an OEM Mazda windshield which they acquired from a local dealership. Immediately after the install I noticed some problems with the infotainment system. Every so often the screen will go completely black and essentially reset itself while I'm driving. It seemingly happens at random, I have not found any pattern. Although the first time I used the little wheel navigation button thingy after starting the car there is like a 50% change this issue happens. Other than that, it'll just happen randomly while driving. Another issue is the bluetooth connection to my phone now cuts out all the time. This happens even when the black screen / reset does not occur. Also, the wired android auto connection now cuts out all the time. All of these issues started immediately after the new windshield was installed and the sensors/cameras calibrated.
Cons: infotainment system resets, Bluetooth cuts out, Android Auto cuts out

Mazda 3
I’ve had a Mazda cx-5 2023 for a little over a year, I live in a rural area but drive a little over 30min on the interstate to get to work. I’ve had them repair a tiny crack once, then a giant crack across the bottom during winter when I had the heat on which appeared out of no where after I got off work, got it fixed March 1st. Just now I was driving to work and a baby rock hit it and now I have another crack. I’ve never had this happen with my other cars I’ve had, first time having a Mazda and I have seen so many that have a problem with the thin windshield.
Cons: multiple cracks, thin windshield

Yep. 22 turbo already has a chip. I bought the dent and windshield repair coverage. Will be calling them soon.
Cons: already has a chip
Vehicle:

Mines 3 months old and the windscreen has a crack straight through it from a stone getting kicked up on the motorway, the chip in the centre of the crack itself isn't that large or deep.
Cons: crack straight through it

Mazda
