I sent in my V1 for an update a few weeks ago on a Friday, that Sat I was busted for 5 over, 30 in a 25 and got a ticket for $95.00. We were in the family 4 door in northern MI, super small town. I could not belive it. Yes, I was speeding, but give me a break. I was super nice to the cop and still was given a ticket. He knew I would not drive the 3 hours to fight the ticket.
To answer your question YES!!! I would buy another Valentine again. And that is why I sent in my to get it upgraded.
