You would buy a Honda Jazz because of the spare?

not just because of the way it is inconvenient on getting the spare tyre back into the car and also i like the jazz as it has more to offer.

I got around it by putting in a full size alloy as a spare! I don't screw it down as it's heavy enough to stay in place, although the loading space in the boot is a tad uneven. As I do a lot of highway driving, the security of having a real wheel and decent rubber on it is priceless to me.
