They use all kinds of little cars for cop cars in Europe. Some are bigger than others. In London I saw their choice of police vehicles is as varied as the NH Marine Patrol's choice of boats. They have a few big vehicles for when they need them, but all the grunt work is done by the guys in the little cars. They can maneuver around the streets really easily, too.
In 2002 or thereabouts, UNH PD switched to Chevy Impalas (a high-end 6-cyl. with Police Package.) I saw the same thing in Salt Lake City when I was there in 1999.
