I just put a windshield in my 2023 outback it cost me $1,250 from Subaru with calibration Safelite wanted $1,300 with calibration
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Got my windshield replaced on my MY23 a month ago by Tesla. Submitted claim to USAA, refunded back (Florida). This time got another crack and replacement again next week, going with Safelite. They can do the sensors and all. Paid by USAA.
Pros: can do the sensors
The 1k non-tesla one - earns the 1k value... glass is not as clear, but manageable for a 1k difference. BUT next time I have to replace... I am thinking to get the OEM.
Pros: manageable for difference
Cons: glass is not clear
It is the first car I had that ever got a chip in which lead to a growing crack.
Cons: chips easily, cracks grow
Vehicle:
Subaru
Within the first 6 months of having my 2022 Crosstrek, I had two chips that needed to be filled so they didn't spider. Definitely chips more easily than other cars, at least from my experience.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
The windshield is by far my biggest complaint. My first week of owning it I got a nice big rock chip. My first winter I guess a small rock got stuck in the wiper and made a 5 inch scrape. My old Subaru’s windshield seems so much more durable.
Cons: chips easily, scrapes easily

I’m on my third windshield on my 2019. It’s the only part about it I’ve had to spend money on really.
Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
I now have a 2024 crosstrek and the windshield cracked within the first 6 months too. This time it was a tiny pebble that hit right on the edge of the passenger side A pillar. They must use very brittle glass.
Cons: cracked easily, brittle glass
Vehicle:
Subaru
Now have a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness and 2 days after I got it I found a chip in the windshield. I would say yes, the newer ones chip easier but that’s just my experience so far.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
Just noticed a small chip in my current Crosstrek (2021). Prior to owning a crosstrek, I’ve never had even the SLIGHTEST amount of damage to my windshield.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
