Subject: Re: Be it shocks, tires or wax everybody has an opin,,,,, by CentralCoaster on 2010/7/21 23:21:16 I don't think you'll get any unbiased opinions. People buy whatever the read the best review on, or whatever the coolest guy tells them to, then they stick it up their butt and harp on how it's the best detector in the world. But 99% of Escort users haven't tried a V1 and vise versa. I may send my V1 in for an update, I was really impressed with it for the first 5 years or so, but as of recently I'm questioning it's sensitivity. I also tried an escort Passport 8500 for a few months. Sensitivity at the time was excellent on both. I liked the passports ability to show frequencies, now it'd be perfect if you could program out those frequencies for common falses in areas you travel frequently. I felt like I was driving blind though without arrows. Nice to know where a signal is and how fast it's increasing, it gives you an idea if it's oncoming, stationary, or travelling ahead of you. And if it's a strong signal from behind you, you know not to slam on the brake lights and draw attention. People say the V1 is big, but the passport seemed the same size overall. The V1 is also very programmable, although most owners probably have never tried those features. The choice also depends on state. In CA you want a detector with good laser and Ka capability, the rest is just noise. |
