C2 VTS good track/b road car??

So my RX8 packed in just after christmas and I've been on the look out for a really cheap but fun car with a bit of speed to it. I've had a look at things like audi tt 1.8t and golf's of the same category etc but they all come in at nearly 200k miles for my price range and they're all fked.

I spotted a Citroen C2 VTS and is has a respectable 0-60 of 8.3 seconds. Now I was thinking would this make a good car for windy back roads? I loved my rx8 and the handling was amazing and I'm not expecting it to be close to the rx8 but am I going to be left massively disappointed and wishing I got another car?

I plan to strip the cars and get it down 50kg or so, after a little while I'd be getting stiffer suspension, good tyres then start looking at induction kits and more free flowing exhaust which I would be paying for bit by bit over the months (which is why I cant just buy a more expensive car outright).

Amy info on these cars would be great, I've heard all the usual "its french and a stbox". Just looking for some personal views on the car really.
