Overview & Reviews

Both 2004 Mini Cooper trims offer a new three-spoke leather sport steering wheel. A rear power socket returns as a standard item, and beige leather sport seats are now available. A digital speedometer readout has been added to the electronic display, and an instantaneous fuel-consumption function has been added to its on-board computer.

• Not enough horsepower in base model, questionable seat comfort, not much room for passengers and cargo, some low-grade interior materials.

  The Wonderful World of MINI! - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By drtdsmith - January 13 - 10:00 am

  Ive put about 2400 miles on my 2004 MINI Cooper, primarily commuting. Weve taken two short trips, too. I cant say enough for the styling, fuel economy, surprising interior room, and driving enjoyment.

  Midlife Crisis Car - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By Downtown111 - January 8 - 2:03 pm

  I fell in love with the 09 MINIs the first time my wife and I drove a brand new 08 in the Spring of 09. But I was reluctant to spend the 28K on the sticker. Then I found an 04 with 50K miles for half that and thought it would be a good way to see if we really wanted one. This car has exceeded every expectation we had for fun, economy and attention-getting. We occasionally read about CVT issues for this year, but after 6 months of daily commutes of 70 miles we still love this reliable, trouble-free sports car. Just put snow tires on for our winter commuting. My wife thinks it is a sensible choice for a mid-life crisis vehicle, and nothing we have ever owned is this much fun to drive!

  Super Cooper - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By Joel Prosio - January 8 - 10:00 am

  Let me start out with, Wow, what a car! It doesnt get much better in this class (If this car is even definable by class). The last "performance" oriented car I owned was a 92 Acura Integra GS, and boy, a lot has changed in the last 12 years. For about 24K fully loaded, Im amazed at the features that are available, and the fact that very few of the options are gimickey. The optional Dynamic Stability Control works well, the trip computer is intuitive, and provides useful information, and the panoramic sunroof really opens up the cabin. Of course all of this would mean nothing if the car didnt work well as a whole, which it very much does.

  Best car all around - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By spencer wiley - December 30 - 7:20 am

  My MINI is the best car I have ever had. I have the John Cooper Works model with work done making 249 hp. Besides the incredible power everything else about this car is spot on. For the money the interior is GREAT quality and flashy. Nothing is broken or falling off. I get 40 mpg highway with the work done and all. With 47k miles and the only problem was a leak in the slave cylinder. All in all the most fun car in the world. It is cheap, economical, high quality, fast, great handling, attractive, and always puts a smile on your face

  Cute & Fun to Drive - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By siberiop - December 13 - 10:00 am

  Have had the car 6 months now, and have had nothing but fun driving it. I love to drive it at night because I love the way the dash board lights up. I also have the xenon lights and can light up a 4 lane interstate, no chance of hitting anything with these lights.

  Interior Ergonomics Need Work - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By babelfish - December 1 - 2:00 am

  The car looks cool on the outside but it needs some help with the interior finish. The sunroof rattles. My dealer pretends the problem does not exist. The biggest pain is the placement of the foot pedals. Every time you use the clutch, your left foot smacks against the door of the fuse box. It makes a resounding smack and is quite annoying. The interior styling is nice, but the color choices are limited. For example, a tan interior looks good with British Racing Green paint. However, they charge $1300 more for that! Otherwise your choices are limited to black with silver plastic, or black with grey plastic.

  A must own for any enthusiast - 2004 Mini Cooper
  By Andy S. - November 2 - 6:00 am

  I have owned several affordable performance cars and this is by far my favorite. The comfort and build quality are just so so, but you dont care because it is so much fun to drive on a daily basis. Anyone who likes driving needs to own a MINI at sometime in their life.
