new civic purchase

[ck11]

This might sound stupid but does the car come with an alarm as the salesman said it only has keyless entry and an immobiliser. If we get an aftermarket alarm are there any good products that can integrate with the existing security and remote? We also wanted to get an opinion on the sound system as we might replace the head unit if the sound quality is very poor (we prefer to leave the headunit if possible so we dont spoil the look inside with an alpine unit which is usally silver).
We felt the astra was pretty bland inside and hence we thought we might sacrifice a little bit of power in the civic for comfort and space. Does vtec really make a notable diffence while driving as the gli doesnt have vtec? Thanks so much for the information.

no such things as stupid questions mate

unfortunately it does not come with alarm (does anything come with standard alarm these days?)

i put it an aftermarket one from the dealer. the genuine OEM alarm apparently costs around 800-900......yeh right

well, i have an aftermarket mp3 headunit. sounds a lot better than the stock one, but who knows, maybe the headunit sounds a lot better from the 'made in thailand' cars than the 'made in japan' cars (yes, my car was made in japan ) i'm sure if you spent enough $ on amps, speakers etc you could make it sound pretty good

well VTEC vs non-VTEC. my bro had an EK VTi-R and the thing flew but you basically had to rev the crap out of it. depends how you drive you know. most people here would say go the VTEC but seriously do you want to be revving the crap out of it and stressing yourself/the car when you drive all the time?

can i ask what price you got for it? cause manual GLi sedan now is 19,990...........
