Another reason the lack of spare wheel is a pain is that the wheel itself can often be damaged.

I struck a piece of wood in my golf on the freeway and the rim itself was damaged. Worse, when I called VW assistance they said they couldn't come as the road was a tollway (so only authorised wreckers can come) but none of the authorised trucks were flat-bed. In the end I had to call the cops (who weren't too pleased) and they authorised a regular flat-bed truck.

Worst of it was that I had to pay for the tow and then VW refused to pay it.
