Spare Tire

Is the 2004 Solara's spare tire just a donut or is it full-size? I assume it is a donut since the brochure says "temporary spare"

do you 99-01 drivers have a spare tire with OEM alloy rims with tire under the trunkmat?? I just bought a used 99 SLE and it came with the tires under the trunkmat.

It's full-size.

I aske cus' a friend of my had a v6Se and he went for the upgraded 16' wheels when he bought it new and got a spare alloy! (not steelie).

Well thats what the guy at the dealership told me. Just goes to prove what I already knew I guess

Car salesmen are generally idiots. They also told me I could get a V6 Manual 04 even though I told them they weren't making them to my knowledge.

So does the 2004 have a full size spare or not? Seems like the discussion as switched to the first generation...

for 04 SLE V6 with std 17" = full size (less the alloy wheel of course)

I have an SE and it came with an alloy spare, but the original owner might have picked that as an option or something.
