Is yours different?

They got a full-sized spare in Oz. It sticks up out of the trunk floor.

Oh, I didn't realize that. Thanks for the information. Is that the case in any other countries?

Yup....that video has some very heavy stuff in it. Did you get all the way to the magnet part? How do they work?

Well, OK, if you say so.

I went back and found the magnet part - no help...

These rap-music-videos just don't speak to me -

But, thanks for trying -

The earlier model 86 came with a full-size spare in oz. Current one doesn’t. I ordered a spare wheel plus the hold-down thingy and raised boot liner when I bought mine.

No spare here... but it comes with a fancy electric air pump and gloop. I suffer from the equivalent of 'range anxiety', I carry a manual foot pump, aforementioned Subaru kit and my own electric air pump with a bigger can of gloop.. and I only drive 2.5k miles a year!!!

Heh. Here’s the discussion with the Toyota dealer when buying my car.

Me: where’s the spare?

Dealer: it’s got a tube of sealant, and a compressor.

Me: that won’t do. Quote me on a spare.

Dealer then wanders away to parts department, and comes back after about ten minutes.

Dealer: there’s a problem with the spare. Because you’re going with the handling package, the standard wheels won’t fit, so we’ve had to quote a PP spare.

Then he shows me the quote, and I fall over.

Oh well, at least I have a proper spare now. And the fanciest spare that ever there was.

Plus the goop and compressor.

At least your spare is in the trunk, away from the crap etc. I used to own a 205 1.9GTi and a Renault 5 Turbo, both carried their full size (nice alloy) wheel in a cage under the trunk (outside)...yuck.. any entrepreneurial being with wire cutters and a decent outlook on life could swipe your lovely spare!!!

I think the story's on here somewhere, but iIrc Australian dealers demanded the car come with a full-sized spare before they realized how much room it would take up, so it was only on early models standard.

I had the same issue, 2017 86 Limited Edition.

The dealer wanted $1000 for 1 PP rim IIRC.

After thinking for 1 second I decided to get some 17x8 RPF-1, and for now keep 1 PP rim for a spare.

Eventually I will get another RPF-1 and use that as my spare.

I cannot believe they only supply that goop shit, or the price they try to sell 1 rim for, a full sized spare is a required safety item IMO, even a space saver would be better, and safer, than that goop shit.

I just put one of those lightweight sleeping bags (unraveled) in the trunk. so whatever you put in there just kinda settles into it
