I agree 12's will get you a good boom/buck ratio but a 10 will be a much cleaner tighter bass. This is also a big consideration when designing the box. A sealed box will deliver a tighter sounds while the prted/bandpass boxes will deliver a more "boomier" sound.
My personal recomdation (also what I use everyday) is a kicker comp VR 10" sub in a sealed box. With a 240 watt RMS mono subwoofer dedicated amp! This fill the inside of my truck cab quite nicely and I think would do okay for your car as well with a little more airspace and aimed the correct direction!
