    Default V1 or Passport 9500ix

    So I somehow narrowed down my search between those two. But I am open to any other suggestions

    Well I am moving.
    Conditions - My drive will consist of driving on the 5 interstate all the way up from San Diego to San Jose.
    I will also be driving all over Norcal quite often, both city and highway driving frequently.

    Also I will be visiting San Diego at least 3-4 times a year so that is more driving on the interstate.


    Thanks

    General consensus:


    Interstate travel - V1
    City Travel - 9500ix


    Personally I dislike the M4 platform that the 9500ix uses, so I would go V1 for both, even though I loathe the V1 in the city.

    My opinion. /Story.

    Based on 15 years experience with V-1s and 5+ years before that with Escort units, this is a no brainer to me, though some might disagree. Simply put, the V-1 works as advertized and is backed by superior customer service. It also helps that since the company sells direct only, it can be had for $100 less than it's closest competitor.

    V1 owns the highway.

    The 9500ix works just as good in the city as highway, maybe even better on highway because of the less windy terns and building obstructions. The key feature that tips the scale if its important to you is elimination of falses on regular routs, speed trap notifications & speed camera alerts on the 9500ix.

    If not the V1 is an excellent choice, arrows can be entertaining and its certainly sensitive enough.

    If you really want to confuse the subject add a RedLine to the decision. But ether way the V1 is a great equal medium.

    Thank you everyone for your advice.

    The V1 seems to be the "best" for my situations, if not at least a very good medium between the different brands.

    I think I will just go with the V1, if I am not satisfied, I will return it and experiment with other detectors.

    Good decision, its always best to try it your self. They all give 30 day trials.
