aren't all cars like that?

how much slower? 10%? or 50? if 10, don't worry about it, it's normal.

I dont think I own a car that doesnt do that. When 2 windows are going down its splitting up voltage. If one is substantially slower than the other then it maybe a regulator or motor going out.

You shouldn't notice that much difference when the windows go down. Gravity is on your side, and its current load you have to look into not voltage. If the windows are rolling up and you can tell a big difference that's where you might have problems. I haven't figured out how to fix that, as the window that rolls up slower -in comparison to my other window- was the one that thieves used to break into my car.
I haven't found a replacement window regulator of some sort. I guess ill keep looking

Mine is also like this and it drives me crazy, makes me wonder if a capacitor would help at all?? Seems like voltage demand is too high for the system when more than one switch is held at once..even my light dim when doing so, but not when pressing one... a fix would be nice

I have the same car and it is exactly like this. I'm assuming you are talking about when you roll up the windows? There is nothing wrong with your car.
...Is this your first car with power windows?

My car [evo 8] does the same thing, drives me crazy. Only on the front passenger side. Almost half as slow as the others x.x

I think this is normal on everything with power windows. I've had a bunch of vehicles and they pretty much all did that. Slow windows beats manual windows, doe.
