Sorry they do try to give a balanced view. The problem as I see it is they give so little space to the tests that many are just too short and possibly running it over two months or so would give them more space to do it justice.

I just wish, if they are going to have an app for the magazine, they make an effort to get it online at least as early as the first paper copies sent. This is clearly not happening.

Just opened October's Magazine this morning, put all the accompanying detritus straight into the recycle bin and had a read at the summary at the end of the uninspiring  Towcar of the year booklet.

It was noticed that this year one of the important summary categories has been left out.   They are not telling if the cars in the survey had run flat tyres, or a proper spare wheel, or a skinny spare wheel or just a can of gunk to use in the event to a puncture or blowout. 

Runflats aside, I would never buy any car which was not equipped with a spare wheel for either solo use or towing.

  Strange the CC decided not to publish this info. 

Have not opened the advertising catalogue ( Magazine ) yet !!

Write your comments here...maybe they

were not paid to do so,,,,,, being purely cynical of course.........

I am afraid not accepting a car without a spare is getting to be a problem. The alternative is just buy a spare and carry it in the car.

Cost of the spare wheel isn't the only driver for manufactures not to include them. Weight comes into play when assessing the emissions. More weight the higher the emissions which can result in higher tax bracket. May be best to add one after if required. Just a thought !!!!!!

I dopubt that the difference in weight between a space saver and a propper spare wheel will have too much effect on emissions. As far as I am concerned a can of spray goo does not cut it for me

I doubt  a space saver makes any real difference to emissions but the cost against an alloy wheel and full size tyre on thousands of cars will add up. A spacesaver being steel might

in fact be heavier than an alloy but I have never checked.
