    My last 2 cars didn't have spare wheels, just a can of glue and an air compressor.
    No real problem though considering I have only ever had one flat tire in my life and that was in 1996 :).

    I have had plenty of slow leaks but slow enough to be able to manage it until I can get to a tire shop.

    Weight of the car.

    you want minimal wear/expenses on anything = buy the lightest car you can find and lightest right foot you have.

    I sold my ND MX5 GT 20L and replaced it with my Audi A3 Cabrio 1.8T as the MX5 was simply too small to be doing those k's in each day.

    The Audi was also a bit small and we decided we only needed on car so I sold the Audi and started using the Missus's CX5 :).

    To be honest, I actually really like the CX5, it's a wonderful vehicle to drive :).

    I think 5.6 l/100 out of a twin turbo diesel is pretty good in the CX5 though :).
