Having owned both V1 and Escort, I went back to Escort.

The arrows are a gimmick after a week.

Having mulitple visual AND audio bogey counters far outweighs the "advantage" of an arrow.

The point of a radar detector is to "detect" a threat. You the human driver needs to decide what to do with your throttle pedal.

On the open road, the cop cna only be ahead of you or behind you - it is not rocket science.

If you get a signal, slow the fuck down and save yourself a ticket - period. If you see a fading signal, he/she is behind you - if you get blips then a cop is working with instant on up the road. If th eblips get mor frequent every over a 30s period you are getting closer.. again, slow the fuck down.

My Escort radars always detected signals way ahead of the V1.

My choice was simple. Sell the V1 and go back to Escort. But what would I know, I drive a Chevy.
