The odds of finding anyone with meaningful experience of both is slim!

It's an alarm... If they both have the same feature set then buy the cheaper one

depends on what you want from it

When you say add on extras what do you mean? Remote start and such?

Are Clifford generally less reliable than Toad??

yea load of wee extras like boot openier and turn on lights and things like that
clifford are a good alarm, dont get me wrong but yes toad would be more reliable. common problems with them are running your battery down if you havnt been driving it for a week or so
for some this wouldnt be a problem as they drive it everyday
but for some the S is a good weather car and track car and might not be used for a week
sorry to go on abit
