One size bigger than 9-2

C30 is the same size as Ford Focus and Mazda3, which shares platform with C30. They are almost 9-3 sized cars, with tail chopped off a bit, with midsize/compact fuel economy to match. The Mini and proposed 9-2 are a whole size smaller, along with Mazda2, with significantly lower vehicle weight and consequently exceptionally high mpg on paper.
I actually see quite a few C30 in Boston area when they came out a few years ago. Mazda3 might have taken away some of the sales. Now 2012 Ford Focus hatchback is on the way, probably with normal Ford discounts in a year, C30 might become a hard sell starting at around $25k. I'd buy a 9-3 over C30 at that price.
