When they put full size tire it sticks out a lot. Pretty much taking a lot of usable space.
What? This is completely false regarding Australian road rules.

Hell, my Australian 2012 model has a factory space saver to prove it. They switched this out to a inflation kit in 2013.

I guess in AUDM it was just manufacturer/marketing trim decision of including full size spare according to local specifics, where one potentially has very long mileage between nearest tire shops / very long time of roadside assistance arriving if in mid of nowhere.
Well, as result we have option of getting different boot liner for full size spare if one would have choosen going that route. More choices better.
