It's smaller so less space. But one of the best FWD suspensions ever built, a good and very responsive engine and when you lift your right foot a little bit not that more fuel consumption than the 1.6. And it's also a reliable standard car and much fun to drive around. Just the suspension parts suffer a little bit from the stiff ride, bushes, bearings and strut tops have to be replaced earlier than on lower-spec Fiestas.
I still like mine and I'd buy one again.
