Spare wheel no longer an option?

When I purchased my Q2 1.4 TFSI Sport in 2017 I ordered it with a spare wheel.
I reluctantly traded it during 2019 and bought a T Cross rather than risk the then well publicised problems with the 1.5 engine.
Next year I may well go back to a Q2, but the configurator has changed.
Whilst it no longer shows progressive steering as standard, it thankfully does appear separately in the complete list of Standard equipment.
However, the previous option to purchase a spare wheel and Jack for £125 has disappeared, with just the repair kit showing as standard.
I'm hoping this is an oversight and will be rectified.
There are varying views on the benefits of having one, I for one am very reluctant to drive without it..

Good news - I have had a reply from Audi Customer care who say it is available across all levels of trim for the Q 2, and that they will pass my comments onto their Marketing department.

Having first reported it here, and e mailing Audi I'm pleased to see it has now re appeared on the configurator as the only item under 'Accessories' for £125.
All being well I will return to the fold next year, as long as everybody is now happy with the 1.5 35 TSFI engine.

As mentioned by me above, Audi confirmed it is available for £125 including a Jack.
It is on the configurator under 'Function'. I wouldn't be without one.
The AA will get you out of trouble by fitting a universal wheel and follow you to the nearest garage, then claim back their spare and leave you to wait untill the garage sorts out your dodgy tyre.

I did say that I will be reverting back to a Q2, if the 1.5 engine was now OK.
Regretfully, although a few good reports there are still issues reported on the forum, even with 2021 models and those who had the latest software update so I may have to steer clear of it.
