    I often get carried around in a FFRR LWB which is 5.2m long. The driver says its fine even around London.

    When the FFRR LWB came out I got very excited thinking it could replace the disco until I viewed it and saw they had used it solely to increase passenger space Sad

    The D5 needs loadspace height rather than length or even just squaring the rear off would've done.

    In tight spaces the difference between D4 and 5 is noticeable, the D4 has a better turning circle. The D5 is fine driving around the streets, even narrow ones but when the going gets tight, I feel it could do with a bit more lock.

    Definitely agree with height, if they didn't slope it down and kept the slab back it would be a better replacement for the D4.

    Worse, the LWB version is only a 4 seater and because of the "executive" reclining rear chairs you cannot increase the boot size by folding the rear seats down. It's all down to priorities I suppose and would you really buy a 4 seat limo to carry rubbish to the tip.
