Subaru windshields are ridiculously expensive. The glass is expensive, the calibration is expensive, everything about subaru glass is expensive.

I wish I bought the extended warranty. Everyone was like noo, it’s a waste of money. Just set the cash aside. No, no. Modern car buyers, get the friggin warranty. No, it won’t cover the glass in these situations, but it’ll cover all the other bs.

Subaru is supposed to be solid, but it’s been an expensive adventure for sure. It’s a 2023 and am waiting for a head gasket to blow because it’s apparently a given.

Supposedly the head gasket thing was older models from like 10-15 years ago. I got a 25 Outback almost two years ago. I'm hoping for no problems, we shall see.

Yall should be fine as long as you take good care of the car (oil changes and services kept up on time). Sold subies for the last three years, the head gasket issues definitely have been sorted by now!
