Yessir, V1 is what I drive with. You may find that the Escort's of the world offer more "features", but once you get comfortable with your radar detector the most important things are simplicity, range, and reliability. You'll learn to disregard nuisance warnings like airports on your own (or smartly configure your V1 to reduce the chance of nuisance warnings). Get yourself a "stealth" install like this to keep cops off your back, learn what kind of radar the local and state cops use (K or Ka for example), and cruise easy.

p.s. I've painted my EZPass black so it doesn't stand out anymore
