  • Awsome Mini - 2004 Mini Cooper

    I couldnt quite afford the Cooper S, so I got the Cooper. I find it to be much more than I ever expected. The handling alone makes this car the most fun you can have with your cloths on (or off, if thats your thing). Its got plenty of s;.t to get you moving. Much more than most mag reviews give it credit for. If the reliability is there, I dont think Ill buy anything else, except maybe an S.

    My experience has been unbelievable and truly too much fun. The MINI has been a fun, affordable, and road tested motorcar for me from the start. No other compares, the Brits are back! Every other car on the road is just transportion, the MINI is a true motorcar.

  • Great car up to a point - 2004 Mini Cooper

    Everything was fine until the warrenty ran out. I bought my Mini in April, 2004. The car ran great until my extended warrenty expired at 75,000 miles. The first thing to go out was one of the engine sensors - that was about $700. A little later I took it in for a tune-up. The dealer noticed that a seal was leaking and with the tune-up I was out another $1,300. As I was leaving they mentioned that some item in the suspension would need to be replaced soon to the tune of another $1,000. About two months after that I lost the power steering. Enough was enough, I traded it in on a Honda. Its a great car if you can afford the maintenance

    I just got my MINI I love the car. I feel like I just got my drivers licese and offer to drive just about any place. I hope this feeling does not go away. If you are looking for a fun and good looking car this is the one for you.

  • What a great car!!! - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    The mini cooper is a great car to drive! It turns on a dime and gets looks from everyone, even those in much more expensive cars. With 29 miles per gallon in the city and 39 on the highway, I predict well be seeing more of these on the road!

  • My Favorite Little Red Car - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    This car is a blast to drive. The first thing people notice is how roomy the interior is for a car that is so small. I love the size, it is just right for me. The Mini S gives you the best of both worlds; its speedy as heck and rides like a European sportscar but doesnt waste too much fuel. I get an average of 35mpg, but you get a lot less if you drive fast. Main things I like are the interior set-up; the dash is beautifully shaped and covered with nice material thats easy to keep clean. I like how the switches & controls are centralized around the console and steering wheel. The interior is not small compared with the outside, and it gives you that feeling of being safe that only a European car gives. When you drive the Mini, you wont feel like youre in a claustrophobic box but rather a pretty comfy sportscar! Ive used it to commute 35 miles each way Monday thru Friday for the past 3 months with no complaints or problems. I found mine at a repo-auction where I got a great price on it, although it had 103K miles, it was a clean Florida car with no issues and a pretty reasonable price for me. I will be investing in a different set of wheels and tires for the winter though, as the 17-inch custom wheels & tires dont like snow at all and I cant drive in the heavy snow. I have been told by a fellow Mini owner that with the right tires and wheels, the car will deal with the snow much better.
