The new Mercedes C-Class I have on order comes with a can of puncture repair sealant instead of a spare wheel. Not happy with this I was going to buy a spacesaver but I was horrified to find out that the new C-Class has nowhere to store a spacesaver except loose in the boot rather than under the boot mat in a designated recess. To add insult to injury those nice people at Mercedes will sell me a fabric bag for £105 to keep a tyre in. As the boot in my eyes is already quite small I will have to go without but is this lack of proper storage space now common practice with new cars and if so why when cars continue to grow.
