Overview & Reviews

For their second season in the U.S. market, the 2003 Mini Cooper and Cooper S will now come with a second remote key and pre-wiring for a dealer-installed alarm system. Anthracite (smoke gray, that is) interior trim is available as a no-cost option for both cars, and the Cooper S is eligible for the high-gloss silver interior treatment found in the base Cooper. Sound systems will be satellite radio-ready this year, and the rear cargo area now has a power point.

• The thrill of owning a piece of history with modern underpinnings, BMW-engineered suspension and steering, chock full of comfort and safety features, hatchback utility, scheduled maintenance on-the-house for 3 years/36,000 miles.

• Not enough horsepower in base model, questionable seat comfort, not much room for passengers and cargo, price goes up quickly with options, limited supply encourages dealer mark-up.

  Fan For Life! - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By CooperLove - February 24 - 2:00 am

  The Cooper is unlike anything on the road in terms of exterior styling, which I like. That aside, its really a lot of fun to drive/own. I cant recall any other car--besides maybe my first car as a teen--that has provided so much joy.

  Adult Go Cart - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By Chofgarden - February 13 - 10:00 am

  First economy car Ive owned in over 25 years, I much prefer it to our BMW 740 or 500 SL for sheer driving fun. Feels bigger inside than it has a right to. Though the ride is firm, the road and wind noise are minimal, and its comfortable on the freeway, though back roads and the twisties are its specialty. Build quality is quite good, utility is great, and Im averaging over 30 MPG. BMW nailed this one!

  Perfect 2nd Vehicle - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By mshcgh - November 30 - 2:00 am

  We have a Tahoe and this is perfect for us to get around town. Our kids still fit and dont mind riding around in the back. It is a blast to drive and the looks that we get around town are priceless. It has a surprisingly large feel when driving. Still when you get out you think "Man what a small car". We love it.

  You should try it - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By blue donkey - September 26 - 10:00 am

  Small convenient car with lots of thought given to customer needs/wants. Can blow them in the weeds if you want or just get out of the way very quickly - the big SUVs and semis I mean The engineering is phenomenal; the gearing a marvel. I have been waiting for almost 25 years for a dealership near here to sell them - Ft. Lauderdale used to be the closest. Cant beat it.

  Lets Motor - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By foofo - September 26 - 10:00 am

  This is my 2nd Mini what a great car!! the 1st was a 02 Cooper couldnt wait for an S I got #32 in the US yes I was on the list for 1.5 yrs, 23000 miles in a year not a bit of trouble enjoyed EVERY mile a little lag around 3400 to 3800 rpms, you just had to stir the gearbox to really go fast. I got a Pepper White S early in Oct 1500 miles and what an improvement no lag at all the new software update has taken care of the cold start and 1st gear stumble problems. I believe that this is the GREATEST little car, My suggestion for you is to wait for and S, it only takes about 8 to 10 weeks to get one now.
