After reading a post on someone just getting a speeding ticket, I was like knock on wood, lucky it wasn't me. So it got me thinking about getting a radar detector. Whats your opinion on whats the best and most RELIABLE? Thanks guys!

I have Valentine V1, not the cheapest but most reliable.

I had the Escort Passport 8500x. I loved it, saved my butt the first day I owned it, and about a dozen other time. I hear nothing but great things about the V1 as well.

check out either the valentine one or the escort passport 9500i, i found this review of the 9500i for more information, should be useful for you:

my vote is for the escort 9500 (in blue) ....installed mine w/behind mirror bracket and hard wired to fuse box using 'add a circut' fuse link.

Until I bought Valentine I had many Escorts/Passports. Had to send them in at least once with each one for repair. (except original passport in 86).
Valentine One is hands down the best you can buy. Until you have the directional arrows you dont realise what a POS Escort is.
Valentine is upgradable in future (for a small fee). Its reliable. It has remote display. You just cant go wrong!:party:
