Morning all, I was looking at a 67 plate L405 yesterday but hadn't clocked it was a long wheelbase. I wasn't really looking for long wheelbase, but its a good car. I don't really carry people in the back much, so am wondering if the extra length might be more trouble than its worth - any thoughts?

It also has the old interior rather than the two screens - is their a consensus the later interior interior system is better? Im not entirely convinced by everything being touchscreen, if I am honest. Thanks James
 
I've got an L405 and, like you, rarely carry rear passengers. It's a big enough beast as it is and longer than most parking spaces. I wouldn't want to have another 8 inches behind me.

I've driven 2 screen cars, and touchscreens seem so much fiddlier and more distracting to use than traditional knobs and buttons. My 2015 Rangie has the single screen and that's fine.
