My car is one of those. In addition to the items you mentioned i also have a tiny little air compressor.
It's almost laughable. No, not almost.
But the funny thing is in 100k miles and almost 9 years I've only been stranded one time...

My Cruze Eco came with a unit that contains fix-a-flat type stuff and a compressor. No spare. Not sure I like that. It does leave me with a little cubby to store stuff under the trunk floor however. 2 years ago I probably would have been fine with it but 2 years ago I had 2 flats due to road debris within a week. Not sure what I'm going to do long term. I definitely wouldn't want to be locked into run-flats. Not much tire selection.

To be clear - the guy I was referring to had a car where the OEM tires were runflats, and he replaced them with standard tires.
