Honestly, I'd rather have a spare Pentax K-x in the car than a point & shoot. You can find them for less than $300 with a kit lens at KEH. http://www.keh.com/camera/Pentax-Digital-Camera-Outfits/1/sku-DP019991321100?r=FE Put it in a bag and stick it under the seat if it won't fit in the glove compartment.
The K-x has superb high ISO and runs on AA batteries.
