Auris Icon Plus Hybrid Spare Wheel

[Retired perfectionist]

I bought a spare wheel for my new Auris Icon Plus HSD. I found that the with the spare wheel in the well the top of the spare wheel was above the surrounding boot floor which prevented the boot mat from sitting flat, making it impossible to load the boot safely. I returned the spare wheel and was given a full refund and will reluctantly have to rely on the repair kit. I was informed by my garage that Toyota has recently announced that this is a design fault and that it will be rectified.

Has anyone else encountered this problem.

Full size spare or spacesaver?

My spare wheel was a space saver.

I have a Auris Excel Hybrid with the spare wheel kit. My kit came with a replacement trim which replaces the trim that goes along the back of the boot(covers the boot lock). With this installed I have a perfectly flat floor. Underneath this floor there is a thinner floor and this does slope.
