I couldn’t convince my parents to get a plug-in hybrid Prius (to replace their old Prius) because it didn’t have a spare tire in the back. They ended up getting a hybrid Camry, which gets much, much worse mileage for their use case. It’s still pretty good in the grand scheme of things, but it was silly that they wouldn’t consider a car without a spare tire considering where they drive and that they have AAA.

On average I have a flat tire probably once every 3 years and if the difference is being able to change a tire with 30 mins of effort and be back to wherever I am going plus slightly decreased MPG vs waiting a couple of hours for a tow truck, being towed to a tire place, waiting a couple of hours for a new tire plus somewhat better MPG. I’d go with the Camry too.
