I was wondering, I'm in the market for a radar detector, and I wanted to know which one was pretty good. I've read a few things about them, in magazines, and on this site, but which one works best for our car. I wanted different opinions....

Thanks,

ive had the v1 and the 8500 pasport and i got rid ov my v1 in favor of the 8500. the 8500 was much better in my opinion

 

I'm getting the Escort Solo S2. Newest Escort out there.

 

V1, no complaints at all. love the directional arrows, i cant see myself using a detector without them.

its great to know where the radar is coming from, when you're passing it, etc.

 

First I tried to save a little money by buying a Bel 985. After two weeks of close calls, I gave it to my son in the service and told him not to depend on it too too much. Then I went with V-1. You can`t go wrong with a V-1. Yes it is expensive, but it is upgradable, and if you want your money back, They sell on E- Bay for 320-350 $. It is hard to be for an investment/ insurance. I travel mainly on interstate roads, on average 90-95 Mph. It has never let me down.

 

V1 or Escort 8500. They are the only 2 detectors that detect ProLaserIII. There are very different opinions on which one is better, but either way, you cant go wrong. I personally have a Valentine One and i wouldent get rid of it for anything...

 

i love my passport 8500. cant tell you how many times its saved me from tickets and maybe worse. not foolproof, but dam good

 

Isn't there one out there that blocks radar?? I thought there was... So I guess the V1 is the guy I'm gonna go with, eh? Hopefully, it will work as well for me as it did you guys...

K40 Has a blocker.

 

you can order the blocker for the 8500

 

V1 with custom mount in rearview mirror is the win...

i'll try and find the link.
