I hear they're good strong engines and they're relitively quick to be fair. A little quicker than a 182. Tuning wise, the usual breathing mods, 708's, gas flow, porting or even TB's will take it over 200bhp.

Handle better than a standard 138bhp GTi.

Performance a little disappointing compared to similar cars such as Clio 182's I heard, not 100% on this though.

Sorry that's all I know really

Not sure about weight but the stats show the Clio to be marginally quicker, 0-60 times for both:

Clio 182 - 6.49
206 GTi 180 - 6.58

Hardly anything in it really.

Extra everything associated with running a car is gonna cost more than doing some bits to your corsa. If you aren't happy with it though, why not sell and get something even better?
