Looks wise its subjective. If you ask me, the Fiesta only looks good from the rear, and even from that angle reminds me strongly of an Octavia. I quite dislike its headlights, which I find too bulbous- would have preferred something rectangular.
The SX4 is too tall, and the windshield looks as if its slipped onto the bonnet, the impression aided particularly by the huge quarter glass.
Performance wise, though I have not driven any of the Fiestas, it definitely has less body roll than the SX4.
So, though I am not a fan of the looks of either car, I would still prefer the Fiesta 1.6 over the SX4. (To tell you the truth, I still prefer my Petra over either of these) And at a lower price, the Ford is a little more attractive now.
