There really is no kinder gentler, suppression agent. They all must perform the same job unfortunate job. ..And remember that if your car's on fire, MANY people will (hopefully) be running over with fire extinguishers. They're not likely to ask what kind of agent you and your upholstery prefer.
The take away message, aside from making sure you HAVE a fire extinguisher in the vehicle as well as a battery disconnect switch, is to get out first before spraying any agent. If you're a responder, try and remove occupants from the vehicle before spraying any agent. Then try to save the car as a whole as well as the surroundings from fire rather than mitigate the effects of the agent.
