Is the washer fluid spray really weak?

My windshield washer spray only reach about 1/4 of the way up the windshield. It's also not a very wide spray so the center/lower half of the windshield doesn't get clean. I neglected to check this on the test drive, so I don't know if it's just my car (2011 G37x) or is a general issue with the G. When it get warmer, I may try adjusting the angle of the nozzle.

Must be a sedan thing...
But just give your window a nice cleaning when you are at the gas station.

I've driven a few 2010+ G sedans when my 2009 was at the dealer (the 2007-2009 have a different washer nozzle set up) and the spray works well for me.

I haven't compared it to other car in the same category. But from the seat of my pants I have no complains.

On my 09 coupe I hate it. The ones on the 06 civic were better. Shoots a wide mist instead of the 6 jets. I adjusted the nozzles with a needle but they eventually move out of position.

Weak on my 10xS compared to my 07x. About a quarter way up is all the spray will reach.

Bad design. Weak and bad distribution. My Accord has better spray.

My G37's is also weak compared to my bimmer...but no big deal for me. It really doesn't bother me at all.

Guess I won't be able to rig my windshield washer up like my buddy used to do back in high school? He'd readjust the nozzles on his Mustang so they'd squirt up over the roof and onto the car behind him when someone would tailgate him.
