I think there is a perfect solution for those of us who seek an extinguisher that is effective, portable, leaves no residue, and is immune to interior temps. The Element extinguisher, which is from Italy, has no moving parts, is unpressurized, and has far more discharge time than the typical automotive extinguishers. It uses potassium nitrate to interrupt the chain of combustion. To activate it, you just pop the top cap off, pull the bottom cap off, and use the bottom cap as a striker to ignite the top end of the extinguisher. The aerosolized potassium nitrate is discharged for approximately 50 seconds. You can wedge it in a door or under a hood and walk away and the discharge is not toxic. The product headquarters is in Canada, and the sales contact, Mark, can be reached at 949-242-9867. The extinguisher comes in 2 sizes, and with a plastic mount (a rubber one is avaialble). You can fit either size under your seat or in the glove box, and the larger size can mount to pretty much wherever you want. Highly recommended!
