I was wondering whether forum members having purchased a full size spare wheel have noticed an adverse difference to the handling characteristics of their Z as a result of the extra weight carried over the rear? :helpme:
When I purchased my Z there was no inflation kit etc in the boot so the dealer is acquiring me the kit and wheel brace etc from Peugeot which costs over £200 ! This made me wonder whether the decision to equip RCZ's with inflation kits as opposed to a spare wheel was more to do with weight than the actual cost. I say the latter as I imagine that the cost price for Peugeot to include an actual spare wheel at the build stage would not be significantly more than the cost of the inflation kit when factored in to the overall price per car. The latter especially as it appears a spare wheel would be the preferred choice for most buyers.
The media are always going on about obesity so hence my initial question, is the omission of a spare wheel more to do with weight Not cost, not that you could ever call the Z with its chic stealth like silhouette fat. :auto-car: :auto-car: :auto-car:
