The 206 gti180 isn't as quick as it's made out to be. It's also from what I've heard not as fun as a 306 to drive, but it will be too similar to it to warrant the cash imo...
Also, VVti... Very different to Vtec... The ew10 engine in the 206 varies the point at which the valves open to allow it to run lairier cams, so it breathes better when 'on cam' up the revs, but also idles smoothly, and increases mid-range torque significantly over a non vvti engine with the same cams if that makes sense..
By comparison, Vtec is a different cam-follower & cam lobe on the same camshaft. It uses the normal cams for the inlet valves below 5500rpm, and then locks the followers into the lairier cam lobe at 5500 rpm, allowing it to breather better and make more power;
