I just bought a cobra 9110. Took a cruise on the freeway after I put it in and it seems to work OKAY, at least better than my whistler did. Anyone else have an opinion? I didn't have the $300 for an escort or anything too highend.

thanks

 

I would have gotten nothing, & saved the money untill I had enough $$

 

Agreed. Even though they cost a lot, the better detectors like the Escort or Valetine 1 are well worth it. This morning on the way into work my V1 picked up a police radar over 2 miles from where the cop was!! I guarantee the Cobra wouldn't have a range like that. If you got a good price then use that detector in the meantime and save for a quality detector like one of the ones mentioned above.

Moving to Car Talk.....

 

I have a COBRA 9200 and it has never saved me yet, I don't even use it anymore. One time it didn't go off until I was beside the cop and of course it was too late.

I am going for the V-1 I just need to wait a few months to fork out that kinda dough

 

yep, waste of money.. i use a escort 7500 and it works quite well.. alerts me of trains, or constructions, tolls, and yes, cops too.. it's nice..

 

After everyone gets off work their gonna start raving about the V1, just wait til around 6 or 7. I have a V1 and it's the shit, but around me they are using laser more.

 

I'm still at work, but..........
V1 IS DA SHIT !!!!

 

V1, unless you like paying tickets.

 

That sucks, I guess its kind of what I expected though. I bought a two year warranty through best buy though, so if it burns out I get a $110 voucher towards any other radar detector in the store. I wonder if they'd be able to tell if I put it in a microwave....

 

If you JUST bought it like you said, take it back for a refund and say you didn't like it.
Best Buy should be fine with this if it's within 30-days or so.

I did like any self confident american boy would and threw away the packaging
