My Volvo doesn't have a spare, only the squirty goo. Had to use that once to get me home, but it did cost a new tyre. My Volvo is a hybrid so the space for a spare is taken up with batteries, so, apart from leaving the spare in the load area I can't carry one. One advantage with Volvo, assuming you have the car serviced by a Volvo dealer, you get free call out at the press of a button, and free puncture repair at the dealer.
