Overview & Reviews

Both 2004 Mini Cooper trims offer a new three-spoke leather sport steering wheel. A rear power socket returns as a standard item, and beige leather sport seats are now available. A digital speedometer readout has been added to the electronic display, and an instantaneous fuel-consumption function has been added to its on-board computer.

• Not enough horsepower in base model, questionable seat comfort, not much room for passengers and cargo, some low-grade interior materials.

  Love it - Great value for the money - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By denvermike - October 15 - 1:00 am

  This car is a blast to drive. It spoils you. From the quick acceleration, to the continued power through all 6 gears, combined with sharp handling = tons of fun. Add in the great fuel economy and the unique look and its just a great car. And if aftermarket tuning is an interest for you, this car has tons of potential available for simple/non-intrusive changes. You can easily add 40+ hp without doing anything radical. Warning - the summer tires will do you little good in the snow; the car is just too twitchy. I purchased a 2nd set of rims and studded snow tires and the car unstoppable in the Colorado winter.

  Feels like no other! - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By Andersona9 - October 2 - 2:00 am

  I just bought my 2004 Mini Cooper with CVT transmission and I love it. The car has a different feel to it compared to other cars I have driven. It has a nice punch to it when the accelerator is pressed. The interior styling is top shelf and very classy looking.

  What a fun car! - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By PJ - September 5 - 12:23 pm

  From the moment I pulled off the lot, this car has been nothing but fun. No problems whatsoever, after having it for two years. Great fuel efficiency, but thats not why I bought it. Its FUN! I love this car and will probably buy another when my son is old enough to drive.

  The Best of Times & Worst of Times - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By drea111 - September 3 - 4:56 pm

  I was a Mini Cooper Fan-Fantastic. every time, I saw another Mini Cooper driver I would wave emphatically or nod knowingly. Not so ecstatic now. After only 15,000 miles my 04 Certified Pre-Owned Mini Cooper S w/extended warranty fell-to-pieces. Here is the quick math (approx. miles): 38,700 miles Bought a Certified Pre-Owned Mini w/ extended warranty-April 08 38,708 miles Returned car because the rear bumper was two-toned-April 08 46,629 miles The crankshaft pulley, bolt, tensioner were repaired-Jan. 09 53,000 miles The Clutch, tire arms, tire bolts, tires…all need repairs-Oct. 09 The "True Cost of owning this Mini is just starting @ $6,600. Read the forums & know before you buy.

  I lost a LOT of money buying a brand new MINI - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By EX MINI owner and RELIEVED! - September 3 - 7:45 am

  I bought my car brand new in 04. It was a daily driver. I drive responsibly, care for my vehicles, and prefer to hang on to a vehicle rather than trade up as soon as possible. I still have a 65 Bug, a 76 Chevy Nova and a 91 Cadillac on the road. The MINI was the WORST INVESTMENT I HAVE EVER MADE, IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. In somewhat chronological order, its failures included: constantly rattling speakers, replaced on two or more occasions; broken motor mounts (the dealer thought it was the clutch and replaced twice. Later, there was a recall on said motor mounts); Panel lights that would turn themselves off; Speedo and tach would randomly impersonate windshield wipers; Exterior trunk latch stopped working; fuel pump failure; Steering cooling fan failure; Steering rack needed replacement; Whining transmission. The car was well over 24K off the lot. 6 years later, with 80K on the odometer, I sold it for 3200.00 as to carry out the repairs would have cost a small fortune.

  Loving my new MINI - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By MINI Lover - August 4 - 10:00 am

  I have had this car for over a week now and I am LOVING it. I love the style of the interior and exterior. The best thing about this car is that I can zoom in and out of traffic easily as well as fitting into small parking spaces on the street. I enjoy the ride because it so fun to drive it and its easy to handle. It has such a good turning radius. What else can I say?

  Mini C - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By Chingu - July 30 - 10:00 am

  An over-all fun car to drive with a quick responce and a gas miser type of engine under its bonnet. Sure its small in size but comfortable. Good looking and different,yes! not like many other manufacturers cloned looking vehicles. Its also sold as a very safe vehicle to drive. Motor on,my friend, with "MINI".
