    do you mean 17 space saver or 17 real wheel ?

    if you can get a real one in to the spare space , id do that .

    17 space saver no room for full one. I'm assuming if you've normal 17" tyre you use a 17" space saver.

    There us also an 18" space saver option for the Ateca.

    damn, well then get the 17 incher .

    to be honest , even if i had no deep wheel space ( i do though in mine )

    id carry a real wheel in the boot - if i do long trips very often.

    ive used mine twice and it makes a difference between 80 kmh to a garage
    and 120 kmh all the way home - and not one f*ck given - on a long distance run.

    Do people get punctures often?

    Last time I had to change a tyre as a result of a puncture was over 3 years ago.

    I can see why spare wheels can be considered dead weights!

    You've just jinxed yourself.

    In my experience punctures never happen at a convenient time.

    If you are setting out on a journey on a Sunday a puncture with no spare will seriously spoil your day.

    OP if I was you I'd buy a full size spare. People might say "how often do you get a puncture?" but the better question is "how often do you use the full boot space ?"

    If space is important to you, you could install something like this. It’s called a tyre carrier. That’s of course if you own and plan on keeping the vehicle. If it’s PCP, don’t

    The space saver should be adequate if you drive within its limitations ie speed.
    I've done about 200,000Km in my current car, I purchased a space saver when I got the car & thankfully have never used it.
