A smaller car would feel more nimble, as it has a smaller footprint so it reacts (rolls) more to changes in direction or speed than a big car would. But that's relative to its size, not absolute.

You're ignoring inertia and only thinking of steady state cornering on a skid pan. The heavier car is more likely to overheat it's tyres in an emergency manouver too.
