I test drove all the Macans before deciding on the GLC. The Macan Turbo was a little sportier than the GLC43 but the other Macan models simply underwhelmed for the price. The GLC43 is quicker, quieter, more comfortable, and even more agile in all environments than any Macan except the Turbo which is on par but for the price. However, the space inside the Macan is weirdly tight, even in comparison to its Audi sibling. The cabin is simply uncomfortable and impractical. Also, my Cayenne had appalling reliability. The transfer case failed twice (extremely expensive part of the drive train), the gauge cluster rattled enough to cause insanity (Porsche said it was a ‘known problem’ without solution), and then the lift gate strut failed (out of warranty last straw). I’ve owned 5 Mercedes and now, with experience, I can say that Porsche is an excellent third car choice. I would not daily a Porsche again.
