Default Space Saver Spare Tyre

Before joining, I read all the posts back to when the MD Mondeo was released, but didn't see any comments on this subject.

Its bad enough that my spare tyre is little more than half the width of the full size tyres, but it is also 60mm smaller in diameter.
Can anyone tell me how the car drives when fitted with a space saver - especially on the front?
If I had a flat front tyre, I think I would put the space saver on the back then put the full size tyre on the front. Just hope it doesn't happen on a rainy night!

I asked a tyre dealer whether there was a wider tyre available that would fit on the 4 inch wide rim, but he said they were a dealer item.
Its been suggested to me that I get another full size rim & tyre & build the floor up to it, but I'm reluctant to do that for a couple of reasons.
Note - I have a wagon & so need a 17 inch or larger rim.
