My 06' Miata did not have a spare. I did augment the can of goo and miniature tire inflator with a tire plug kit. Luckily, all but one of my tire issues was a slow leak (nail, screw), that allowed me to inflate and limp up to Discount Tire to get it patched.
A full sized spare would be nice, provided the fronts and rears are the same size. I had a rare sidewall puncture on my front right tire on my current DD 08' Civic SI sedan. In the rain of course. Since the SI comes with a donut, and has an LSD, I had to jack up the right rear, remove the tire and replace it with the donut. I then lowered the car, jacked up the front right, removed the wheel/punctured tire, replaced with full sized wheel/tire from right rear.
The recently updated Scion FRS webpage specifies slightly wider rears. I hope this is a typo. It bugs me not to be able to rotate my tires.
