If its cold outside and you've got the heaters on then it can drop the engine temp a little.
I think the corsa temp gauge is to blame most of the time because of the 10 degrees between the top and bottom marks. Makes it look either too cold or too hot most of the time. as long as its near the 90 degree mark I wouldn't say you have a problem
