I'm curious.
They've disappeared for obvious reasons, maybe there are some unicorns out there. I was 2 years too late to get one in my car. I remember my dad saying he used to only buy cars with full size spares.

E46 BMWs all came with full size spares...like just a 5th rim and wheel, not even a lame ass space saver. Those were the days....now we get shitty run-flats.

I know a full size spare is an option on the Chevrolet SS.

All i know is..not many! I guess the ever increasing stock wheel size often being 17, 18,19,20" makes it harder to fit a worthwhile spare like they used to. Cant exactly use a 15" spare in place of a 20" wheel if you got a flat and a 20" spare wont fit in a trunk.

Pickups/SUVs (esp. if towing package is check'd) pretty much always have full size spares.

Hate hate hate run flats. I thought it was cool you had to rotate it with the other 4. I'm sure a lot of people never did.

I think tacoma's and 4runners do although they aren't really cars...
I was surprised my BRZ actually came with a spare at all. Seems to be the trend these days.

Haha no, kidding of course. Mine came with a can of goop and a cigarette lighter-powered air pump.

Hm, ya I never did, unless I got a flat ;)
And ya effff run flats, even my mom hates them, swaps 'em out for more aggressive rubber with more forgiving sidewalls, on her manual 3-series. Yea, my mom is cool like that.

Most trucks and larger SUV's offer it at least as an option. And the Jeep Wrangler has it standard of course, right on the tailgate.

In europe? And that's too bad, you'd think the wagon would have more than enough room for a full size spare if they can fit it in the sedan...

I would hope. Not including Jeep, I don't see a lot with a matching spare.

True, I would almost prefer a plug kit and a little cig adapter elec pump to a can-o-fixaflat. I think 90% of my flats in life were pluggable and then just drive carefully in case it spits the plugs out.

I always thought it was interesting my 2001 A4 came with a full spare but my 2001 S4 has only a donut. Price when new was about a $15k difference, but the more expensive S had the cheaper spare. S4 didn't come with a road side warning triangle either but A4 did. crazy Germans.

I test drove a Subaru XV Crosstrek and Forester 2 weeks ago and both had a full size spare, I was a little shocked.

My Focus ST came with a full sized spare, not the same tire but I think it's an H. Not the stock rim, though.

Or you get nothing at all, in the case of the E9X M3. Wait, sorry, you get a mobile compressor and a little thingy of tire slime. Big help that's going to be when you cut a sidewall wide open on a pothole. True story: that happened while I was passing through (arguably) the worst place in Philadelphia on the highway. Had to pull off, obviously, to avoid certain death on I-95. So, yep, now I'm in a disabled M3 on a surface street in the worst place in Philly. As luck would have it, I was on my way back from the race track and had an ENTIRE SET OF TRACK TIRES in the back seat, along with all my equipment - jack, cordless impact, torque wrench, etc. I changed it in under 5 minutes and was back on the road. That day, karma did me a solid. Lesson? Always be either going to or coming back from a race track.

Haha perfect takeaway. Same deal with the SLS AMG, and most super cars for that matter. Luckily I was literally a block and a half from MB Manhattan when it happened, so they took car of me quickly.
There are nice parts of Philly? :p

Haha so you got lucky too! Sometimes I just think about how much worse it could have been... *Shudder*
Apparently Philly isn't all bad. Doug hasn't been robbed of his 360 at gunpoint yet (I saw it last Sunday!), and he lives in an almost-but-not-quite-yet-fully-gentrified neighborhood full of hipsters. I live in one of the...uhh...established suburbs, so I'm terrified by the mere sight of an empty lot with trash in it (christ, there are probably needles!) but yes, quite a bit of Philly is nice these days. Would be glad to show you around if you're ever in town! Had a heck of an evening with the the Smoking Tire crew back in July when they were passing though (though of course Matt, having gone to school here, was already a Philly expert). Don't they call it the "sixth" borough?

The Cadillac SRX comes with an invisible spare tire! Wherever you look, you won't find one, That's because there isn't one.

US. It is an 04 e46. They also did come with a full size spare for some models.
It was in between the E60-E90 early ones when they disappeared.
