I don't have a common alarm, it's 'avital'...I can't say like the people above "it's excellent and I highly reccommend it"...it's an alarm system and it has always worked when people have broken a window or tampered with my car....so it does it's job, idk why people always reccommend toad or clifford because they are common brands...even if they do work well, this avital alarm system has always worked for me and comes with functions like re-arming and all the usual jist.
Get whatever alarm you want, they all work unless you buy one from netto it will probably fuck up. Just make sure it's quality. Use google and shit.

Gemini. Cheaper than most but is still decent enough.
Oh and a alarm is preety useless without a imobliser. And in todays world were people break into your house for the keys its a good idea for a tracker (Even my rubbuish nova has one)

Depends what you want the alarm for though, an immobiliser is only ever any good of they are trying to steal your car. Plus most corsa's (not sure if all) have factory immobiliser anyway i thought?
I have a sniper easy fit on mine  it took me all of 7 wires to fit it and it does exactly what i need it to.

Very true again, the only purpose of an alarm is to raise awareness that the vehicle has been broken into, pretty much 99.9% of people will respond by saying they'll go down in the middle of the night with baseball bat in hand etc...
About 20% ever would.

I once had my car broken into because I accidentally left £5 in the car, my dad's sat nav that I borrowed was in the glovebox, 'cus the alarm went off, they grabbed the fiver and ran off. Lucky that! 
Also I was at my parents one time and I heard the sound of breaking windows, went outside, it was a downstairs flat being broken into, I shouted my dad and we ran after them with baseball bats. The cops saw me and made me throw it down which was funny as I was almost arrested for it. lol, so I'd go outside if someone was stealing something...it's not right to just take other people's property. Didn't even know the person who's flat it was but still, don't need people breaking into places near my mums.
