I've had a couple Macan loaners, longest about a week, and I really can't stand the interior. It doesn't feel cheap, per se, but I'm not a big fan of all the buttons or the layout of the interior controls. I also couldn't figure out how to make it remember my climate control settings, so every time I got in the car I had to press about three or four buttons. The placement of the climate control temperature readouts also seemed to get washed out in the sun/bright light.
I haven't had a chance to drive a GLC yet, so don't know how it compares dynamically (the Macan was pretty good, although felt bigger than it was, to me) but I know the interior of the GLC is like my C-class, and in my opinion way better than the Porsche. Unless the GLC is just a total dog to drive I'd definitely take that over the Macan. I had a 2013 Audi S5 and that was the least fun car I've ever owned, so haven't looked at Audi in a few years.
