The problem is that some cars now come without a ‘wheel well’ in the boot to store a spare wheel in, or the space is taken up with other things (battery etc). It cuts down the available boot space considerably if storing it on top of the boot floor. Personally I think all vehicles should have a spare wheel/tyre or at least a ‘space-saver’ but in the quest to save money and weight (thus emissions etc) a lot of manufacturers are just giving a can of ‘goo’ instead. p.s. don’t forget you will probably need a jack and a wheel-brace as well unless relying on the RAC to come out if you have a puncture.
Strangely it come with a jack and a wheel brace, just no wheel
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
