Surprisingly no. I’ve had at least a handful of pebbles hit my windshield with no cracks while driving on the highway.
I have 14k miles on my 2023 and have no rock chips in the glass. Maybe I'm just lucky?
A couple of months ago I had a large tree branch fall as I was driving and land hard on my windshield. I was sure I was going to see cracking as the sound of the impact was incredibly loud. Nothing. Maybe it was because it fell lengthways across the entire windshield that the surface area absorbed the impact?
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
On her 2023 that needed a replacement after the first month? No aftermarket available so it'll be the second replacement again unfortunately.
I've had lots of issues with it (I've replaced 3 windshields in my first ~21 years of driving and ~10 in 10 years with the subarus with eyesight).
Man Subaru glasses probably some of the worst I've ever seen. I've owned a WRX since 2020 both VA and VB at this point I wasn't able to get 4 months into my VB before I replace the windshield.
Subaru windshields are crap, really.
The glass quality on Subaru Forester since 2014+ is a shit!.... Subaru windshields are shit.
My 21 outback went through 3 windows. 4 total before selling.
