I drive my forester for work. I’ve had 2 in the past 2.5 years and have driven them a combined 110k miles. I never cracked my windshield.
Pros: never cracked, durable
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 110000 km
Just replaced the windshield on our brand new 2025. Took a rock a couple days after buying it. My insurance subs all glass claims to Safelite Solutions, but gave me the option to use whomever I wanted. Since the car was new, I wanted official Subaru glass on it, so I went with the dealer.
Pros: official Subaru glass
Vehicle:
Subaru
Got my Outback used with 46k miles on it (23 model) and it is completely covered in tiny little chips. They don’t go through but they reflect like crazy when the sun is low. Hate it and strongly considering trying to get a new windshield. Will consider a protection film if I do that. Not bad enough to fail inspection but just one of those things that gets under my skin. Must be weaker glass- never seen that before like this
Pros: no chips go through
Cons: covered in chips, reflects sun, weaker glass
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 46000 km

The glass quality on Subaru Forester since 2014+ is a shit!.... Subaru windshields are shit.
Cons: poor glass quality, not resistant
Vehicle:

My 21 outback went through 3 windows. 4 total before selling.
Cons: poor durability, cracked frequently

I had one not a week after I bought my 2022 - it seems like Subaru's windshields like to crack and I don't want to be constantly replacing windshields.
Cons: cracks easily, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I’ve had my 2015 for just under a year and I’ve had a chip filled and then the whole windshield replaced due to another unrelated crack I got driving on a freeway on ramp
Cons: prone to chipping, cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Got four chips in the first two weeks of owning it. Thankfully insurance covers it, but it blows my mind that it happened so easily. I keep a good distance from cars ahead of me, especially since I live in Nashville.
Cons: chips easily, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru
After replacing my windshield twice within 5 years, I tends to believe the angle of 2019 Forester windshield makes it prone to chipping, following or not following the vehicles in the front.
Cons: prone to chipping, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
