Things I'd like to improve on my Skoda:

Even worse if you have the heavy rubber boot mat fitted, which has to be lifted out, it's too stiff to roll up out of the way.

One of the best systems I've seen was on a Peugeot 504 which had the spare wheel sitting in a cradle under the boot. [snip] The only way to swing the wheel and cradle back and locked into position was to lift it back up with the jack! [snip]

Don't tell us - the jack was at the bottom of the boot?

I have the rubber mat (one of their better accessories) and the carpet version (which is a bug*er to get out because there is nowhere to grab hold of it).

No, the jack and handle/wheelbrace were actually stored in the engine bay! Clipped onto the back of one of the strut towers. Now that was "simply clever"!!
