Spoke with local Mazda
Spoke with local Mazda Service Dept., and sure 'nuff, said spare would not fit in trunk. So, why have one if you can't take it with you??!! And what about the 2018 one on eBay? My new Miata comes with 3 years roadside assistance, supposed to get there in 30 minutes, and will tow to nearest Mazda dealer. In Mississippi there are only two, so could be a long tow. Still, I'm not dropping the AAA I have carried 20+ years. They are tried and proven. Mazda's may be a pig in a poke.
