This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • 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.
Cons:
  • 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.

    not only is this engineered beautifully, the car is a blast to drive with power to spare. safety features to match more expensive cars and handling like a go-cart.

  • Can you say fun? - 2003 Mini Cooper

    This car is just too much fun to drive. With any other vehicle, I would have been disappointed with the stumbling problems, small visors, lack of storage space for front passengers, but the fun factor far outweighs those "minor" problems. It takes a while to realize that its not just a toy car driving at an amusement park!

    Ive never paid MSRP for a car before, but I would say that this car is worth it. The buying experience is extremely easy & fun. Mini is constantly sending me nice goodies in the mail, & customer service has been great so far. Like how you can order exactly what you want on the car. A VERY fun car to drive with lots of pep, great handling & brakes. The int & ext design continues to draw looks, and its refreshing to drive something different. Im used to an SUV, but quickly acclimated to this small car which feels roomier inside than it looks. The ride is firm, but I expected that. Love all the BMW features without the BMW price.

    I waited 9 months for delivery of my 2003 Cooper S and it was well worth the wait. The performance of the car is awesome, acceleration, handling and braking are all that was expected and then some. The jury is still out if the ride is going to be too harsh. After two weeks, Im still adjusting to the firmness, I realize it adds to the handling

    Its worth the wait! A lot of car for the money and regardless of the size, Mini doesnt cheat on quality. My first new car in 15 years, so the bells and whistles are amazing. Great dealership assistance when you need it; thanks BMW! And you should see my dog in it--hes motoring too!
