Another yes. I've been twice and am planning a 3rd trip - had a car both times previously and was glad I did, and will have a car this time as well.
I am big on public transportation and take it quite a bit at home - between public transportation and my bike, I put minimal miles on my car. So I am definitely not tied to a car in general. But in San Diego, things are pretty well spread out and public transportation is limited.

I'll go with the majority even though we've never tried the public transit there. For the most part San Diego isn't hard to get around in. You may want to take a spin thru Coronado as well and visit the Hotel Del Coronado.

Another yes! La Jolla (pronounced La Hoya - hey, I didn't know until I got there!) is a short drive away, but you will be very happy you have a car when you get there. Same with going to the zoo. A car would definitely be useful.
Parking is relatively easy to find in San Diego, although a bit tricky in La Jolla. It was easy to find metered parking at the end of the day, so I never had to park in the hotel's parking lot.
