What is the best radar detector out there

[rlambert02]

I really want to get a radar detector but dont know anything about them.
So does anyone know what the best brand is or what detector is the best value for the money?

I was looking at some cobra stuff, so let me know if any of you have helpful information

Thanks!

i have had a escort passport for 7 yrs, have had it upgraded this past yr...works great, no issues either. it's not the cheapest unit, but it works real well...save my butt many, many times!

that or a V1, cant go wrong.
things you'll get with these that you wont with a cobra:
false lockouts
GPS speed and GPS lockout
better POP protection
range (big one)
LIDAR
tonnes of little things like auto volume and auto range that just make it such an awesome package.
if you're gonna get a radar dector, do it right and dont think you are invincible
