I have owned my Passport-Escort for about a year and a half and I must say I have yet to get pulled over for speeding since. Even though it is somewhat pricey, I would much rather pay for this one radar instead of tons of speeding tickets. It picks up distance great! Especially on the highway setting. I recommend that anyone who has a lead foot buy this radar detector.
What's great about it: its easy to set up, and is very accurate when detecting long distances
