Great handling and fairly nippy as standard, a few breathing mods and some coilovers and you have yourself a greta little car, would have 1 over a 1.6 corsa anyday. They are cheap as chips now,but as said you will need to spend 1500-2000 for a decent lower miled example, alo tof standard ones knocking about lately too.
Couldn't of put it better myself. With a decent filter and system, they can comfortably make 15bhp. I think they look awsome too. Yellow one on dark grey VTS wheels 
15bhp from just an airfilter and exhaust

Yes. My VTS made 134 bhp after an enclosed filter and 2" straight through.

Not much difference once you strip it out anyway.
Great cars yes but I complete ball ache, 106s just break way too much.
