In terms of audio quality, CD carries better quality than MP3 as it does not compress the audio data. MP3 files use compression techniques to reduce the file size by 50% up to 95% or even more. MP3 compression normally does a good job at compressing the files but the compression will always lose quality. Sometimes, the loss of quality is not noticed but as the amount of compression increases, so the more obvious the losses become.

MP3 files take up far less space with a typical song size of 4MB compared to a CD format song taking around 40MB

Yes/No. If you were one to take music around a Mp3 player would be best. If you were to buy a CD it would be hard to run around with a CD player.

But if you like to just hang around a home a CD will do just fine!

If you burn Mp3s to a CD (Burn as DATA not Audio), then you will be able to fit far more music onto it.Providing you have a CD player that can play back DATA CDs this will work much better for you than burning audio.Instead of having upto say 20 tracks you could have 300 on one disc!
