5 Reasons To Buy A Porshe Macan
A great race can only be celebrated if its competitors are capable of going head-to-head and how else could we begin this battle of the luxury SUVs than with some of the most recognized names in the luxury vehicle tier? Yes, we are talking about comparing the 2018 Porsche Macan with the 2018 Mercedes Benz GLC, both, which are living proof that practicality can definitely be fun.
Now let's talk about reliability because, in the long run, it is going to save you money and a lot of time. Now according to Consumer Reports, the Porsche Macan was rated 51 points above the Mercedes GLC. In April 2018, they also surveyed their subscribers and Porsche cars ranked higher than Mercedes Benz.
On another note, on their 2017 Initial Quality Study, J.D. Power and Associates rated the Macan first among compact premium SUVs. The Mercedes GLC is not even in the top three.
Moving on to engines now, although both the Macan and the GLC have different options to choose from, if we compare the AMG GLC 43 3.0 turbo V6 with the Macan Turbo 3.6 turbo V6, the Macan shows up with 440 HP and 442 lbs.-ft. of torque, when the GLC only has 362 HP and 384 lbs.-ft. in torque. And if you are interested in longer driving range, Macan has 2.4 gallons more fuel capacity than the GLC (19.8 vs. 17.4 gallons) which will ultimate you make you fill in that tank more often.
When it comes to the interior of the GLC is extremely comfortable and remarkably spacious for a compact although the Macan appears to be just as spacious and it has Porsche's versatility, and impeccable trim and materials.
Then there's the value factor which we highly take into consideration. According to The Car Book by Jack Gillis, the Macan will ultimately cost less to operate because typical repairs cost much less than on the Mercedes Benz GLC. For example, a water pump will cost you $332 and a fuel injection will cost you $151. Buyers also enjoy Porsche's its superior resale value. In fact, the IntelliChoice estimates that the Macan 47.42% to 60.51% of the original price in 5 years when the GLC will only retain a 41.34% to 44.98%.
Now, the choice is ultimately yours, but we are rooting for Porsche.
