The new Yaris comes with a tyre repair kit and not a space saver wheel, is a car jack and wheel nut brace supplied also so as you can rotate the tyres around to even out wear.

You can buy a spare wheel kit for the Yaris - two parts, the assembled spare with tyre and the tools.

Hi FROSTYBALLS, Thanks for reply but just asking does a carjack and wheel brace come as standard with the repair kit on a new Yaris, I do not wish to purchase the space saver wheel.

Nope, no tools

You can buy the tools for £42.22 as a kit, and also the wheel, if you want it

No, you do not get a jack and wheel brace, just the bottle of gunk and electric compressor.

The gunk has a limited life and if you use it for a puncture, many places will not repair the tyre.

I bought the (space saver) wheel, tyre, jack and wheelbrace kit for my 1.3 Icon for around a hundred quid from my local Toyota dealer. I don't know the price for other models, some have a different size spare.

The jack fits in a bracket under the passenger seat - neat!

I don't know what you're supposed to do with the punctured tyre and wheel you remove, as I understand it won't fit in the spare wheel well!

Thanks to all for replies on this Subject, now know what I will be getting.

I just upgraded from the previous model Yaris on a like-for-like basis, so kept the space-saver spare wheel and tools from the old car...
