Default Toyota Auris, no spare wheel

Apparently the omission of spare wheels by manufacturers is a weight

My feeling is that this is positively dangerous and should be banned.


Less dangerous than some twonk changing a tyre on the brow of a hill
or just round a bend or even lane 3 of a motorway? That's assuming
they have half a clue about how to change a wheel and to do the
nuts/bolts up properly...

But I agree a can of gunk and pump are not satisfactory, space savers
just about but I'd rather have full sized spare.
