Yesterday (Sunday 24th Feb) I visited a local Audi agent to inspect an A3 Sportback with a view to considering it as a replacement for my 8-year old A3 1.9TDI.

I was disappointed to find that it now has only a space-saver spare wheel and tyre, and even more disappointed not to say a trifle annoyed to be told that a full size equivalent is not available even as an extra cost option as there is insufficient space for it in the cavity below the boot floor.

Perhaps someone can explain what one is supposed to do with the defective full size wheel and tyre when having four passengers and a full boot a puncture requires the spare to be used.

Thanks,

Mike
