Radar detectors

I almost got a few tickets on my Canada trip last weekend (got really lucky) so have decided to invest in a radar detector. I’ve been shopping around for the best one out there. There are 2 at the top of the list:

  1. Valentine 1
  2. Passport 8500 (with the new X50)

I’m rooting towards #2. Read somewhere that V1 gets confused in cities and the Passport is ~$100 cheaper. Looking for comments and suggestions.

Toffi bhai its that $100 bill that is making the decision :)... Valentine 1 to go all the way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ama nahin yaar. When it comes to quality $100 doesn’t mean much. Here’s an article (of the many that i found) that discusses the differences between the 2:

Consumer Research

Here’s another good one at Speed Zones

aren't they illegal in canada ?:)

Well sure they are. But most of my driving was in the US.

Nobody uses radar-detectors kia? Or does everyone live in Canada? :hehe:

Other than SalMon (who’s a little biased) its a dead duck thread i guess.

Anyhow I just ordered the Escort Passport 8500. Should be getting it soon.

Interesting 2nd link… ummmm
