I have owned a Honda Accord Tourer for over five years, and until last week, I have been fortunate in never having a puncture. To my horror, there was no spare wheel in the boot. Checking with the local dealer (from whom I bought not my past three Hondas for myself, and countless for the company) this is normal with the Tourer. Their response was that they do provide a gel to fix basic punctures. Sadly that was no good as my tyre had shredded. Fortunately I happened to be near home when this happened, but had spent the last week in Ross-shire in a very remote spot. Have I missed something with the motor industry, or is this normal practice with other makes? Although I have every faith in Honda, maybe I should change to one that provides a spare tyre rather than a fancy SatNav that is no use if you're immobile.
