Call me old fashioned but I have always carried a full size combatible spare.
I have many occasions where I need to be out late or all night. I travel in very remote places and on poor roads. I have had 3 punctures in the last 12 months due to poor roads. pot holes and sharp gravel tracks. A space saver is not a safe solution.
My Superb's, Scout and Octavia's all had the capacity under the floor to house a full size spare. My Yeti with a false floor has.
In each case the vehicle has been the highest spec.
Now I am forced to have a low spec 5 seat with a spare (full size or space saver) or a high spec 7 seat without the possibility of a spare.
I am aware following earlier posts that there is the space in 5 seat configuration but the 7 seat package intrudes!
It is after all only a computer programme which will give me what I require or a marketing department with it head in the sand who will not.
