Macan Turbo to GLC63 *new owner*

I just traded in my 15' Macan Turbo last weekend, with the only intention of test driving the GLC63. Took it for a spin and I was sold after 15-20 min of driving.
They gave me good deal on my trade in, sweet talked the wife, and haggled the price with the sales department! Next thing you know I was signing papers and drove away with the car!
I love my Macan Turbo, but this GLC63 is a completely different animal, I love it!!!

Quick comparison*
Power: GLC63 hands down
Handling: Advantage Macan with PASM
Tranny: PDK by far the quickest, but it has some quirky characteristic nonetheless its been very solid for me. The 9Gtronic is smooth not as quick as the PDK, but so far so good.
Looks: Toss up! I'm starting to fall in love to the GLC63 everyday especially the mean mug look.

I wanted the glc63 when I bought my 2015 macan turbo a couple years ago but it was my out yet.

I really want a e63s but have been thinking of going with the glc 63s.

What are your overall impressions?
What did you get from the dealer on the macan? Which options did you have and mileage?
My Macan turbo has only 16k miles, is CPO was fully loaded with a 99k msrp (just missing PCCB) and has almost 20k in mods.

Hi there!
Awesome!!! Handling and tranny I think the Macan has a slight edge. PDK is just fast, but I’m starting to love the 9 speed. Also, I miss the suede headliner of the Macan I wish you can option that out on the GLC it makes the interior of the car more luxurious.

Power of the GLC: Hands down it will destroy the Macan and even with a tuned Macan will get walk by the GLC63. I think this engine is so underrated and I’m positive it makes more whatever the MB advertised.

My macan had 14500 miles and they offered me 55k for trade in. All in all I love the GLC63!

2020 AMG GLC 63s (ordered)
Congratulations! Your new GLC 63 looks great. I too will replace my 2016 Macan Turbo in a few months, have already put deposit for a 2020 GLC 63s, can't wait.

I sometimes question my decision to replace the Macan, it is such a great car, so much fun to drive, so comfortable and the performance is always there. Got only 24k miles, it has been very reliable but compared to the Benz it lacks the technology, sound and beast power.
