If you haven't already, I recommend a test drive of both before putting your money down on the GLC. What you see on paper is often different in real life
The new GTS does sit between the S and Turbo, but for some reason I do prefer the understated class of this Turbo. The performance, looks, interior... love it!
That's EXACTLY why I bought the Turbo over the GTS. Being older, adding silver window trim and roof rails to the dolomite silver paint just gave it an elegance not normally found in the GTS (although it could be ordered that way). And there's something to be said about an extra 64 HP as a big plus.
@@johnparsons1857 Bought a '22 S for all the same reasons - a bit of chrome = less boy racer plastic jellybean look - the 375 hp of the old GTS is enough for me, power wise
Why would a turbo "handle" better than an S. I am not sure that makes sense to me? The car is essentially the same except for the engine, right? How does the engine help the car "handle" better? What am I missing? Thank you.
For the turbo they used a more performance oriented tire and the air suspension has been reworked to be geared more towards performance. It's also a bit lower than the s at all it's not just an engine upgrade. It is a noticable difference, however the S is still handles very well.
@@JamesSalvatore Oh wow. I did not know that. Great. Thank you. I want to get one of these Porsche SUVs eventually, but I would be torn between the Macan and the Cayenne Coupe.
It may help but if you like sporty driving go the Macan route if it's definitely practical even if you have a family it's the perfect size in my opinion
Just Priced out a new 2021 Macan Turbo $110,000 . Great Video by the way. But just learned about the 2021 Macan GT3 RS with a upgrade to 500hp and a bunch more standard features, is it worth a $150,000 price tag???
Lol you know you could just say "taller adults" instead of "full size adults". It just sounds weird. Everyone is an adult at 18. Unless you're referring to the toy ppl. They are adults, just not "full size" or human size.
@@bcdrummer1962 I thin James' comment regarding the sport seats was better described using "full size". I'm full size and although the sport seats were ok, especially compared to others, I opted for the 14-way "comfort" seats. It is my road trip car and I wanted that extra room in the driver's seat
😂 In the land of freedom and opportunities you have a really low degree of technical improvement because your motto is ‘never change a winning team’. So American tastes are quite different than European luckily. The bad quality as shit we have a grown by making your own stuff and now China is in problems I am looking forward to a better economy War based locally then around the globe
Very good video for new buyers as he give very honest content
WOW love this review... love this car!!!! Thank you for all the information. :)
Glc 63 amg would be my choice in this price range .it sounds and performes way better .
I think the Macan Turbo is more poise in handling but the AMG sounds and has more power and emotion.

I have a McLaren 720s spider, and I live in Vancouver 🇨🇦 so I am really interested in the Macan turbo as more of a rainy day and bad weather driver,.
Sounds like this would definitely fit your situation well

Exactly that's why for me it's either the turbo or the s

You're doing a great Job. Keep it up. Also I've texted you on Instagram about it too.
Thank you

I have a video that compares the two if you click in the video section and scroll back it's about a month old

Cayenne is great but for performance driving you definatley feel the weight

Depends everything at that point is about justifying it
What market is that for? There is no such model for the NA market for 2021
The price goes up quickly. My 2021 Turbo stickered for $108,xxx without PCCB and adaptive cruise control.
in vietnam it takes u >$120k for the base version
Wow that’s crazy I can only imagine what a turbo costs there
Better off start with turbo, cause s and gts still feel slow even after a tuned.... 😅
Shame it's LESS powerful than the outgoing Macan Turbo.

Thank you for the feedback
"toy people" ??? Totally derogatory comment. "toy people" sounds much weirder than "full sized adults".
Lol toy ppl isnt a real thing. I was being facetious. But clearly you didn't take it seriously. Smart comment btw.

Like the Macon turbo not the reviewer
Like the macan turbo not you're channel
