    I love my mini, I hate the repair costs. It was great until Dec. when I ended up spending $4000.00 in repairs. The single largest expense was the clutch flywheel. I have it repaired at an independent shop where I purchased the car or it would have been twice as expensive. I called the dealer to compare prices. I was able to get 286,000 mi.on my last clutch so I do know how to drive a car without abusing a clutch. This car has been a delight to own otherwise. I have been tempted to sell, but I love driving it. I keep hoping each repair is the last. Lets hope it is. I do agree each time I take it in, just to get oil changed, it cost about $1000.00.

    In the last twenty plus years I have owned sixteen vehicles. P/U trucks, cars, pretty much everything, but I have never owned a car like my MINI Cooper MC-40, I trully look forward getting in and driveing, like when I was fifteen and first got my permit. This is without a doubt the finest car I have ever owned.

    What fun after 17 years of minivans and SUVs. I can do all errands without fuss or struggling into a parking spot. Even Costco is possible. Easy to maneuver, feel more in control of my auto and can enjoy the feel of the road again. Fuel efficiency is an added plus. Other Mini drivers always acknowledge me on the road.

    I actually won this car! It handles great. The warranty covers everything but the tires. On the highway I get 38 miles to the gallon. The design of the interior is techno! It looks small from the outside but there is plendy of room inside. There are a lot of unique things about this car, like if your wipers are on fast speed but you slow down your driving speed they adjust to that speed. The glove compartment has an air vent, so if you put your lunch in it it keeps it cool! The sunroof has a screen that protects you from the uv rays, and last but not least the smiles you get from everyone that pulls up next to you. The Minis seem to have a club you dont join, you just belong! :>)

    Outstanding vehicle with the price to value. A sports car that is cheap, economical and superb. Body is unique as are the colors and all packaged by BMW. What more could you ask for?

  • The S Stands for SUPER - 2004 Mini Cooper

    THis car has been very reliable and has had only one "problem" to return to the dealer - the back hatch warning light would be on about half the time when it was closed - a simple adjustment was made and no problem since. The MINI is probably the most fun to drive car in the world. It makes short or long drives enjoyable again and gives you the understanding about being "one" with the car. I really love it!

  • S! - 2004 Mini Cooper

    If you buy a Mini only go for the S. Ive had one for about a year and a half and it is the most fun car you can ever own. people in m3s move over for me and then wave me through. Fast cars are great and all, and this car is FAST, but the handeling is supurb, I take exit ramps @65-70 mph. MINI COOPER S IS THE WAY TO GO
