If a space saver was supplied with a Clubsport and a front tyre deflated you’d have to jack the car, remove a back wheel, put it on the front and then place the skinny wheel on the rear. A bit of a faff.
You could buy a full size 18” spare (eBay) and squeeze that under the boot floor, along with a jack, a big wheel brace, tools etc. then carry a burly passenger who doesn’t mind getting dirt under their nails around with you, and another mate to hold an umbrella over your head whilst you supervise (these things only happen when it’s peeing down) proceedings.
Or you could buy a regular GTI, add some options, a space saver, it’d save you money and have less to worry about.
It’s enough to drive you to distraction.
