In the right box/amp/sub combination a 12 is NOT sluggish in the least! Especially in such a small car.

Distortion has nothing to do with number of subs. It can be created if you are running the amp at a lower impedance that it is designed, but even then you would have to run the amp past its capabilities to run into harmonic distortion. Your ear cannot hear the distortion that is created by merely lowering the impedance. 3 10's will lend to just as much "distortion" (aka voltage 'jumping' between the output rails of an amplifier or static distortion caused by poor internals) as 1 12 will 
You are correct in saying that, but the 'sluggishness' has nothing to do with the car. Alignment and compression does have to do with car size though!
