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.

  • Simply Outrageous Mini - 2003 Mini Cooper
    By -

    Our Mini Cooper is exciting and fun to drive. Weve had our Mini for about 3 months and really enjoy the performance and compliments we get. It has become a great marketing tool for our company and a relief on the wallet with fuel economy at over 30 miles per gallon on the highway. This is one of the best values on the road for your money. We cant wait to join some of the rallies that seem to take place every weekend. We nicknamed ours Simply Outrageous Mini or "SO Mini." Lets motor...

  • Best car for the price - 2003 Mini Cooper

    This is the best car for the price. It has value inside and out. Never has a car been built with this technology for the price. 3 years and 36000 miles of free schedule maintance is awsome too.

    the speed of the car is the most surprising thing. didnt expect that quickness out of a 4 cyl. I am 65" and there is plenty of leg room and head room. Safety feature of the car and recent rating of 4 stars is impressive

  • Who are these people? - 2003 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I`m very pleased with the car overall.At times, I have to explain my decision to buy it,though.I have driven nearly all the recent BMW models and own a 325is.This car pulls like a miniature 540i and handles like a go- kart.It`s so responsive,that it makes my 325 feel like a stationwagon.I can see anger at service probs but who are these folks who buy one but bash the looks and the handling.Why buy it if you don`t like it.The perf. runflats are harsh over bumps but on smooth roads,life is great.I`m 6`1``and my 4 and 8 year old are cramped behind me,but they always want to ride in it anyway.Kids point,adults smile,everyone`s happy.

  • My Mini ROCKS - 2003 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I drive a 2003 Mini Cooper and it is the greatest. Mine is Yellow with a white bonnet and I absolutely love my car. It gets great gas mileage because my drive to school in the morning is 16 miles so it does great on gas. I would recommend this car to anyone. Its very safe and fun to drive and everyone at my high school LOVES IT!

  • Definetely worth every penny - 2003 Mini Cooper
    By -

    This car is an amazingly fun car to drive. My ONLY complaint is that the rear hatch gets dirty faily quickly so I have to clean it about once every week. This is the perfect car for someone seeking a decently quick car that will get you noticed.

  • Mini to the Max - 2003 Mini Cooper
    By -

    This is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. The handeling and performance went far and beyond my expectations. This little economy car runs like igh performance roadster Fuel economy is the best. I can travel to FL and back from IN on a hundred bucks or less. And the pick up is there for passing and moving out quick. Not to mention the speed this little mini meanie can cruise at without reving the RPMs. Coolest thing since sliced bread. Its definately a head turner and seems to be the topic of conversation when I pull into gas stations and parking lots. Its a $17,000 car that drives like a 50,000 sports machine. Even better its made by BMW. Cant say enough about it.
