Windscreen washer
My windscreen washer seems quite low pressure might take more than a second from pulling the stalk until the water comes out and whilst it does clean the window it seems lower pressure than any other car I have driven, how does everyone find theirs?

Mine are pretty terrible, and I even requested an aiming adjustment when in for routine service. This led to an entire replacement of the driver's side sprayer. They are still not as good as most of my other vehicles have been, certainly not other porsches, but they're not the worst either. I've just learned to live with it.

They didn’t really specify whether it was defective or not, just that they replaced it. It’s even possible something broke when they were trying to adjust it so it had to be replaced. I didn’t ask as many questions as I should have maybe in hindsight.
I should clarify it’s not outright TERRIBLE, it’s just somewhat lackluster. My 911 sprays a fine, even mist across the entire windshield. The Cayenne shoots two streams per side that kind of peter out. The even coverage of the mist means you don’t have to use much to get the job done. With the two by two streams, you end up spraying a ton more fluid to accomplish the same effect.

My fronts work fine. There is a little delay but lots of volume and good aim. The rear wiper washer is totally different thing. It plugged up (zero output) just before Christmas. I brought it to Porsche of Calgary, they confirmed that it was a defective nozzle and the part had to be ordered from Germany. Reminds me to call them and check on progress. Over a month and a half is ridiculous.
