Default Can u fit a spare into the recess in new WZ Ambiente?

The ONLY thing I don't dig in new Ambiente is that tyre repair kit. Can u fit a spare into the recess under the boot floor at all? If yes, off to dealer with wife to buy one. Trading in 2010 4dr auto Hyundai Getz with 8200kms.

Then looking at new Focus Sport for myself. Trading in, maybe, 2011 VW Golf 118FSI.

Dealer do a deal for 2 new cars you think?

Tks for reading first post!

i fit a stock 185/55r15 in my WT boot easy, but the bolt to secure the wheel is too short by 10mm so you made need a longer bolt, you have to get the polystyrene holder, jack, wheelbrace and so-on
i found it all at a wrecker for $20 and used my stock wheel after i fitted mags and now keep the tyre goo and compressor under my passenger seat

Curious as to why trading in your Hyundai with such low kms for a new car? I think youd get a pretty good deal to sell privately for both cars. Ask for a trade in quote and then compare to carsales.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-F...93d3203&_uhb=1

I assume it will fit a WZ as they come out of the same factory.
This ebay listing is by an actual Ford dealer, so you could ask the question and they should know.
