Another congratulations and many happy, safe miles of enjoyable driving. The compact spare confuses me though.Probably I just don't understand where you plan on storing it that saves much space. I keep my spare (full size front) tire behind the driver's seat so the space used behind the seat is mostly the width of the rim. True, the tire sticks up a bit higher than the level of the engine compartment cover, but I've yet to find that it interferes with loading/carrying stuff.
