Forester pros: great Cargo space(same as a utility truck), high of the ground, very big windshield with little visibility problems
I have a 2025 Forester , had to replaced windshield within the first 2 months of owning the vehicle. Waited 2.5 months for a windshield and now I have a small Crack only god knows how. Ridiculous.
In my very recent experience, Subaru glass is caca.
Insurance covered for the OEM windshield.
First road trip the window developed a stress crack with no sign of impact on/near the crack. Dealership took pics and submitted to Subaru. They decided to cover a new windshield under warranty (as they should).
Mine was delaminating with 38k miles Subaru replaced it even though I was out of the warranty time period
I own a 2019 OB Touring with six cylinders. I’m the original owner. I’ve had numerous battery issues, but SOA replaced the DCM Module two years ago, and the battery has been working well so far. In April 2025, SOA also replaced my head unit at no cost to me. Additionally, there was a fuel pump recall several years ago. I get service at a local Subaru dealer, and I’ve been happy with their service. However, the windshields broke once from a stone hitting it, and they’re known for having low-quality windshields. So, I have insurance that covers a 50-dollar copay. Fuel economy isn’t the best, but I enjoy driving it and feel safe in it. Overall, I’m pleased with my car, and the biggest problem was my battery issues, which have been resolved for two years.
Subaru glass is really thin especially if you have eyesight. Not good in a low car but it is what it is.
i wish i knew forester windshields chip and crack easily. my 24 forester limited has 26k miles on it. there's three large chips in the windshield and hundreds of small flecks missing.
Just got a rock chip on my 2025 Ascent with only 2400 miles. We weren't anywhere close to the car in front of us so we don't even understand how it happened. On the edge of the black area around all the camera stuff. Heading to get it repaired now so it hopefully doesn't spread. Wish us luck.
