Its too much for normal cars - unlike yours mind you - to the standard corsa though its too much - it will probably cause pinking.

Yeah - as marc says - high performance engines - turbos and imports too coz a lot of imports are tuned to run higher RON fuel.

Yeah but you have to advance the timing by a degree or so though to make the benefit.

Pinking, (high pitch explosive sounds) which can be the result of several problems with vehicle systems, is where the fuel and air mixture is ignited at the wrong time, sometimes called pre-ignition. Pinking must be rectified as soon as possible as it is detrimental to the engine, often causing damage to the pistons and other engine components if left unchecked
