I guess this would eat up a lot of space even if you'd restrict it to inline 4 so is one reason the FWD cars have more room?

Yes, absolutely. Especially because the transmission also eats up space. With a Haldex setup, you can run awd without intruding into the interior space of the cabin.
Like I said, my Mk7 GTI is shorter than an F20 but has quite a bit more interior volume.
