Anyone coming from a Macan?
Anyone coming from a Macan?
Im thinking on moving here from a Macan and my main question is about the seats. I think the sport seats (8-way/18-way) in the Macan GTS are incredible. Comfortable but also snug and host you bolstered in place just the right amount.
I got to test drive the glc63 with the standard seats and they were pretty good, but less bolstred then the Macan seats. So I started thinking about the AMG performance seat, but of course non available around me to test drive.
I was wondering if anyone has any direct comparison (coming from a Macan GTS (or S with 8/18way sport seats)) between the Macan seats and the AMG performance seat in terms of comfort, bolstereding and the like?
thanks!!

There was a very popular YouTube video a few years back (2018, 2019) where some drivers tested a GLC43 vs a BMW M3 vs a Jaguar F-pace and a Hyundai Genesis thingy and a Porsche Macan S. (I believe there was an Audi RS in there too, but it was a long time ago) and the GLC43, stock, far outpaced all the others in performance, handling and enjoyment. The BMW apparently has better comfort but the most disappointing vehicle was the Macan S. It apparently didn't impress any of the drivers in any of the tests they did.
If you're in a Macan GTS now get out, it's like a $20,000 bill to do the leaking timing cover on those

My brother has a cayenne GTS and I will say probably the best seats I’ve done a road trip in. They are super comfortable. I don’t think the ML63 seats are that far behind in comfort though. I’ve done plenty of road trips in them and they are great. The GLC43 AMG seats are no where near as comfortable as the ML63 seats.
