Upfiring or Rearfiring--any difference?

I usually fire backwards in my hatchback, and for a while I tried firing upwards. I didn't like the sound... spl went down enough to be noticeable, yet it sounded like the sub was riding upstairs with me; not a very good thing when you have Type-R's, which are not known for SQ.

 
I've always run mine rear-fire in my car (Protege5 hatch) and recently switched to up-fire. It didn't make much difference exept for the bass floor seems to have been lowered....I think rear-fire is the way to go??

THis is with a single 12", btw.
