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.

  have driven the "S" since July and now in the snow and ice of upstate NY winter. Both experiences good- Mini goes like hell on good days and gets thru just fine over snowy roads, much better than my Ford Focus. Just now getting used to the somewhat un- yielding seat, gasoline mileage not impressive(c. 25) but smile factor 100, with strangers regulary walking up to ask or comment about it.

  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.

  Its a LEMON - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By Hale - October 7 - 2:00 am

  This car has been a problem since i drove it off the lot. It went in for service 2 months after i picked it up and has been in 6 more times. im waiting for the dealership to honor the Lemon Law. The GPS has never worked; i had a service agent tell me he would never recommend purchasing the unit on a Cooper. The major problem has been the acceleration and fuel injection. Two different software upgrades and the problem still exists. This error causes severe safety issues when pulling out at intersections. They tell me they havent had any complaints ont he automatic transmition, but who wants to drive an automatic MINI? Wait a few more years, or buy a Bug!

  Can you say fun? - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By Sgt.Pepper - October 7 - 2:00 am

  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!
