In the Compendium rules, a car counter is 1/2" by 1" long not matter the types (i.e. a subcompact is on the same counter as a van).

If you use Micromachines, they can be put on a base 3/4" by 1.5" which is 1.5x scale. Hot Wheels are on a base 1.5" by 3" long or 3x scale.

Fifth Edition had different counter sizes based on the type of vehicle. However, if you play Fifth using Micromachines, just do what you said - make it 0.5" per 10 mph.
