Pioneer AVIC-S2

alaTest has collected and analyzed 16 user reviews of Pioneer AVIC-S2 from Amazon.com. The average user rating for this product is 2.9/5, compared to an average user rating of 4.0/5 for other GPS on Amazon.com. People really like the price and maps. The performance and usability are also mentioned favorably, but many are negative about the reliability.

The AVIC-S2 is well equipped and despite a somewhat confusing map experience, it remains a recommended, if not outstanding purchase.

Just when you think you’ve seen everything that is possible a company like Pioneer comes along and jams even more functionality into an already packed device.
