Reviews
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
My 2002 Toyota is perfectly unharmed...
Pros: perfectly unharmed, durable

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
Personally, I've got 3 chips in mine since February. And I recall the hits — they were almost inaudible and did not seem like a big deal.
Seeing these whenever I drive my almost new car is driving me nuts. But I don't want it to just happen again if I replace the windshield.
Cons: 3 chips, easily damaged
Vehicle:
Subaru
2025 Forester purchased in early June already has 2 of these chips. We have never experienced this in any of our past vehicles, including an Outback that was part of the class action class. This is an obvious quality issue.
Cons: prone to chipping, quality issue
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
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).
Cons: lots of issues, frequent replacements
Vehicle:
Subaru
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.
Cons: worst glasses ever
Vehicle:
Subaru
Subaru windshields are crap, really.
Cons: poor quality
Vehicle:

The glass quality on Subaru Forester since 2014+ is a shit!.... Subaru windshields are shit.
Cons: poor glass quality, not resistant
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
My 21 outback went through 3 windows. 4 total before selling.
Cons: poor durability, cracked frequently
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
