I think the only advantage the 106 has over the VTI is it looks

no 106 deffo 100% handles better, watch that top gear vid for a start off.
performance wise, about equal, iv played with a mate in his VTI-S and it was pretty equal, i was gaining on him a bit, but i put that down to me changing gears better, or maybe he was just waiting to hit VTEC

Might not be much in it 0-60 but I reckon there will be 5 secs in it 0-100
I like the 106GTI's but Im def with the VTI here. Just think its a better all round car - Altho as standard it does look a bit dull (may be a good thing tho?)

5 seconds? are you mad, if my old 106 did 15.3 standard, 1/4 mile @ 91, are you saying the VTI would be mid 14's 
iv had a go with a vti up to 100 and nothing in it trust me
