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.

    I have owned my Yellow S model for a month now, and I can confirm that this car is nearly perfect. The combination of beautiful exterior design, well executed interior design, build quality, and economy shows that BMW really got this one right. The car can match most sports sedans on a feature- for-feature basis. The S model is NOT an economy car dispite the fact that it gets 30mpg average for me-it is a high- performance sports car in every sense. Pure fun!

    This is the best car I have ever owned. If you dont like to recieve attention, stares, questions, hoots & hollars from fellow motorists, then this car is not for you. Whether you are making a quick trip to the store or a road trip across the state, the cooper always manages to keep its passangers safe, comfortable, and yerning for more.

  • Liked it so much I bought 2 - 2003 Mini Cooper

    Excellent room for two adults in the front. Plenty of storage with the rear seats folded down. I have both a 2002 Cooper S, and a 2003 MINI Cooper. The handling of both are superior. The gas milage varies from 25 in town to 33 on teh highway. The dealer has handled all normal service at no cost. Had a windshield replaced under warranty on the Cooper S due to a stress crack. I will by a Cooper Works model when they are available.

    Get over the size. Yeah ,so its small.BFD--thats what makes er rock--- but 6 airbags ,alphabet soup brakes systems and a 4star crash rating help to alleviate safety concerns for the Ralph Naders(I heard she didnt get a 5star because the front bumper was too stiff if you hit a pedestrian!). Nimble, surprises others in traffic, constantly get asked about her.FAST. I sold an Audi TT 180 Quattro Coupe to go MINI. This is more fun and I dont feel guilty about the cost compared to the TT.
