In Oz Spacesavers (costminimisers) are an awful idea, but in the mondeo replacing it with a full sized spare puts an ugly mound in the boot floor unless you source a set of hard foam fillers as NZ XR6 has indicated. And then you lose a lot of boot volume.
I've equipped our cars with puncture repair kits, and if going a where service stations are infrequent carry a good quality compressor in amongst the luggage.
But if I had to use the space saver, it would go on a rear hub, and the full sized tyre thus removed gets to go on a front hub, if that's where the puncture has occurred.
Cheers
