Purchased a spare & everything else required to change a wheel when we bought the Yaris last year, wouldn't ever not carry a spare wheel.

Where do you keep it? 

I've been considering this, but it would have to live in the boot or behind one of the front seats in one of the rear passenger seat footwells. 

I suppose it would be OK, as it's not very often that I use the boot to capacity. 

.

It has a purpose built space in the boot so fits securely where one should be, doesn't make any sense to me at all you pay £23,000 for a car then another £350 for the spacesaver and all the other tools required, why not just price the vehicle at £23,350 in the first place .

Both ours only have room for space savers.  Mine came with one as standard, her's I had to buy as it was an option when new.  I'd prefer full sized, but space savers are the next best thing.

Mine has staggered wheels anyway for reasons I never understood, so a full sized would be problematic I guess.

Full size or space saver, either makes the TPMS throw a wobbler. Although hers, being higher spec and more modern, only takes a couple of cancel message presses and it tells you that you have a space saver on and that some functions may not work properly.

The JLR TPMS are self learning.  That said, not entirely sure if my space saver has a (working) sensor in it.  As it's purely a get-you-home thing, I'm not bothered either way

The system on ours will only let you program four sensors, so the spare definitely doesn't have one.
