Cheers Matt.

Yet again the same verdict.

I totally dislike the Taxi company that is Merc their designs are well strange, why on earth do they make a car that looks like the front end has been given a good kicking by a 20 stone Prop Forward and why would anyone want a sat nav screen stuck in their car like an afterthought.

The interior is typical Merc, why buy a Merc like this when you could buy a Dacia?

Agree about that awful screen stuck on the dashboard in new Mercedes

Thanks for sharing, Matt Thumbs Up
Another reminder of the quality of Porsche & its depth of engineering. Smile
I too am not a fan of the Merc interior with its 'stuck on tablet' attached to the dash. Methinks that the Panamera interior is the future for Porsches...

Good read. I like the exterior (especially the coupe) but the interior is a mess.
The GLC is comparable to BMW and Audi. Very good cars but not incredulous good like the Porsche.
That is reflected in the price if you specked them like for like tough.

Well that's my opinion anyway.
GTS 😀

The screen looks daft being an after though. BUT its probably a better place to use it higher in the eye line!

The 12.3" screen in the new Panamera is able to be a little higher up, due to the central ventilation outlet having been moved down a bit...

I looked at the GLC AMG before settling on my Macan as I currently have a Merc. What put me off was the plastic trim all round the car that could not be changed, the piano black console that would easily mark and the stuck on screen.

Judging from this & other reviews, the fit, finish & quality of the Porsche is in a different league to the Merc Thumbs Up
