Cobra make the widest range and in our car alarm review we recommend the 8186 for soft top cars as it comes with a microwave sensor as standard. Of all the other Cobra car alarms reviewed the 7928 is compact and ideal where space is limited while the 8808 has been designed to easily and quickly fit into modern cars with a can-bus system.
One of the best value car alarm reviewed was the Clifford Avital Maxx 1, 2 and 3, all are Thatcham approved, Maxx1 and Maxx3 are cat1 and Maxx2 is cat2>1 upgrade. Our reviews of Clifford Concept and Intelliguard car alarms found them to be more expensive but they do have many extra added features as standard.
