My 2016 has NEVER cracked nor chipped...
Pros: never cracked, never chipped
Vehicle:

Pros: no chips, durable
Vehicle:
Subaru
I purchased my 2023 in October of 2022; I have two small chips in my windshield, both occurred within 3 months of ownership. First one was after a month going up a hill into a rocky mountain with very high winds at the time. Second time was maybe 3 months into ownership and it was from on of those large semi trucks carrying gravel lol I’ve been a lot more cautious since but I’ve put off replacing the whole windshield for 2 years.. chips have not gotten any larger but I’m currently in Southern California where the temperature doesn’t fluctuate too drastically so hopefully I can put off a little longer
Pros: chips not growing
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
Unfortunately the quality of the OEM glass is horrible and I had them replace it again. The replacement was just as bad so at this point I've given up on getting a windshield free of distortion.
Cons: horrible quality, distortion issues
Vehicle:
Mazda
Our 2020 Outback just got a crack in the windshield.
Cons: prone to cracking
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I bought a '24 CT in December. Already has 2 cracks/chips. Never had an issue with chips like this with my Honda.
Cons: prone to chipping, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru
If you live in an area with rocks sprayed for traction at winter, dont bother (unless the crack impairs our vision). Subaru glass blows.
Cons: poor durability, prone to cracking
My 2025 forester windshield got cracked already with only 3000 miles on it.
Cons: windshield cracked
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 4828 km
I already have a crack in my windshield. Local Safelite quoted me $1200 (500 replace glass + 700 recalibration).
Cons: prone to cracking, expensive replacement
my wife's windshield cracked once and we got it replaced at Safelite. Then that windshield cracked (and is still cracked currently)
Cons: poor durability, frequent breakage
