Default Full size spare vs. space saver

North America: what are we getting? Do all come with the full size?

Default I would prefer the space saver w/ the compartment under the floor in the Avant

That's why I was wondering if any space saver wheels and that different tray with the well were available over here.

I am sure it isn't. All the good stuff is banned here by AoA.

Default Full size spare for me.

I prefer the full sized spare that came with my Avant. I have had experience were I was stuck 100 miles from repair service and had to drive on the donut. The donuts have no grip and wear very quickly. They're only good for driving slow over a short distance.

1999 models and prior had space savers in the sedans, too (like mine).

Default NA cars all have full size...cold someone from Europe check price of plastic tray with well?

I may have to import one since AoA certainly won't co-operate with anything non-standard.
