The 405 is deceptively capacious as I have learned. I had a 405 sedan while living
in Maine and it was my only vehicle for a while. I delivered a roll top desk to a
customer in Brunswick, got the entire thing in there. It was disassembled for sure
but I did get the entire thing in and with plenty of room for me also.
