Seems silly changing the corsa if it's only a run around just for the sake of it .
If your doing motorway milage and stuff, maybe look at Mk 3 Astra Sports, ideally a 1.7 TDi (fuel savings should make up for tax cost)

expensive tax bracket but i can recomend the 306 dturbo. easy run, nice spec and nice amount of power and not bad handling for a runabout car

If you want 1.5 or lower then get a diesel.
Or maybe an EG Civic, they're 1.5 petrol.

Corsa seems ideal as a runabout tbh, wouldnt change it, put any extra ££ towards the BM?
