My Corsa Sport has air-con and the 1.6 engine, so its pretty much the heaviest corsa you can buy. I had it at a weighing bridge and it was 970KG with a 1/4 tank of petrol. Its no way near 1.5 tonnes. Indeed, it is very heavy for such a small car, but lose some of the weight and you could see the equivelent of a 20BHP increase.
