Get the 18 footer. It will pull much nicer than a 16 foot trailer. A friend of mine had a 16 foot, then went up to an 18 foot and it rides a 1000% better than the 16 footer.

You might not think that 2 feet makes a difference, but it really does, especially when having to tow a long distance.

I hauled mine home 240 miles 2 days ago on a 16 foot trailer. car takes up basically the entire length of the trailer. have to becareful with side to side clearance when loading it. and if it has sides you either have to climb out the hatch or t-top. but they will fit on a 16' trailer.

edit. i agree the 18 foot trailer will probably ride better. I hauled mine with a 2002 F-250 crew cab(4 real door style) short bed 4X4 diesel. and it rode fine but with a lighter truck you'll definatley feel the car back there when you hit a bump.
