When I started Boxstering 8 years ago I searched on the net for all the Boxster info I could find. I found the company that did the computer simulated crash testing for the Boxster. On their site there were these neat 3-D x-ray images of a Boxster being crushed. Wish I had save the images. You could see how the spare tire might help.
I am personally not concerned about the crash advisory. I need more space in my trunk. But with my luck the day I left the spare at home is the day I would need it.
If you remove your spare just stay away from poles that jump out in front of you.
