Ford 1.0 Ecoboost or Renault 1.2?

Please give me your interpretations about Ford 1.0 Ecoboost 125hp and Renault 1.2 115hp. Which one is more effective and attractive for driving, especially what about engine noise?

The Renault 1.2TCe is smoother and quieter, but nothing like as punchy as the 125PS Ford 1.0 Ecoboost.
