It is a matter of what you are prepared to do in assembly and disassembly.
I had no bother with a 16" lightbridge in a medium/small hatchback Ford Fiesta or a Camry Station Wagon. (No room for back seat drivers in the Fiesta)

Moving the base assembly is the easiest. You just turn it on its side and roll it on the rim. It then fits easily through doors. the biggest problem then is assembling the truss rods on site and doing a collimation. Both these become relatively easy with a routine developed by practice.

The extra light gathering of a 16" over a 12" is actually quite noticeable in a dark area.
