Yes all the county people (all 5 of them) will whinge about it but seriously if its such a concern they can pay the extra $100 for the full size spare - the majority of cars are bought by city people who dont need a full size spare (hell I dont even carry any spare, tyre repair kits are a wonderful thing : )

So over it.

Yeah, Im going to get out and do a tyre repair on the side of the road on the way to Melbourne (as I regularly do, to see relatives) when I have my two kids and baby in the car, especially at night...

Stuff that, I would just prefer to take the spare out and put it on thanks. A lot of people dont even like changing a friggin wheel, so they arent going to fix their tyre are they?

You dont have to live in the country areas to drive though them regularly. And trucks leave a lot of rubbish on the roads for cars to run over, Ive done it.

A spare is how heavy? 40kg or so? Big deal. And space? Well there is a sunken area of the boot in a BA where the spare sits. No dramas. Wouldnt even know its there.

Having said that, having it as an option for $100 or so would be a compromise.
