Welcome.
The 5 year servicing plan is especially worth it as the 4th year service is a big one.
I had a 400 for a day and thought it was very well thought out.
The 20 inch wheels do not fit in the boot, so a spare is pretty pointless unless you put the replaced wheel in the passenger seat!

I went for the spare wheel option and the gunk, and am please I did.
I don't keep the spare in the car unless I'm off on a long journey (without luggage).
Only this weekend the spare paid off. I had a puncture on Saturday morning and the rear tyre deflated immediately. I used the gunk to get me home as I was only local.
Once home I fitted the space saver so I could continue using the car albeit again only short local trips. After a few calls I found that no dealers seemed to stock the tyres and were on a four day back order. I eventually got National tyres to locate one and they arrived yesterday to fit. With the space saver I could continue using the car although it did look silly, but needs must.
I also went for tyre insurance with Adrian Flux £89.99 for the year and up to four replacements per year. In my opinion and as proved yesterday I saved the cost of £267.
I recently went on a trip to France, Monaco, Italy and Switzerland and I did not take the spare. Fortunately I did not get a puncture but it makes me wonder what I would have done if I had with the seemingly low availability issue. I have 18" wheels too so I would have thought they would have been easier to get. Also just for reference my rear wheel did fit in the boot of the coupe

I did wonder if the grey trim would work against black but it definitely does. Looks awesome!
