Yep they included a can of fix a flat in the trunk of my old M3.

I can't imagine that would be too pleasing on the roadside.

wait... the S5 doesn't have one?

i didn't even bother to look. what about the A5?

and kind of ridiculous that the Q7 doesn't. Audi should be Audi, not BMW. Stop cutting costs!

I don't mind a cookie cutter spare, it's probably the best option.

in all honesty

i don't think it is as much a matter of cutting costs as it is about the handling. but that is just my opinion.

one could opine that audi should use even more aluminium to compensate for the luxury of full sized spares, but then that would make the cars even more expensive.

i don't know.
