  • Rattles? Who cares? - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    Well, first let me say that if there is a car out there that is more fun to drive everyday, I dont know what it is. Secondly, Mini is lucky that the car is so loveable... the rattles that this car seems to have already (at 200 miles) would seem unacceptable in a Japanese car. I find myself at the dealer twice already for warranty claims... and yet, I really could care less. THAT is how much fun I am having. The handling is impeccable. The steering feel is excellent. Every nuance of the road is thoughtfully transmitted to the driver. The closest that I have gotten to this level of information is in my Mazda MX- 5 Miata.

    I have owned 22 cars over the years, many with performance in mind, including Mustang, Camaro, HSV V88, BMW coupe etc, but nothing beats the Mini Cooper S for the sheer fun factor of driving! Have a go!

  • Mini Cooper S: Fun to drive! - 2004 Mini Cooper

    Over all the Mini Cooper S is a fun car to drive. Its peppy and handles excellent. It sticks to the road. Even on the interstate, Semis dont blow it around. More room than expected.

    The old Minis ran out of horsepower before they ran out of handling. The new Minis run out of handling before they run out of horsepower.When driven hard there is a lot of chissis flex, the addition of a positraction unit helped a great deal with wheel spin.This car is fun to drive!Very quite at 100 MPH and stable, even in cross winds.The only problem we have had was with the drivers side window and it was repaired.The rally seats are very comfortable and easley accomodate a 6 foot plus person.I would buy another one!

  • MINI S, My Favorite Auto - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    This car is a blast to drive. It is so much fun to take an exit ramp and feel glued to the pavement. Car is easy to wash, easy to park and easy on the eyes. The double sunroof offers great light and view of the stars. Mine is red with white racing stripes, white top and gets many double takes. The 6 speeds have kick and power even in the top gears. Cruising at 75 ish...punch it in ...and off it goes....it is a very fast car. As a 58 yr old female, I LOVE driving my MINIS.It has all the extras, look terrific and was affordable.

    We love our Mini. No better car, especially for the price.

  • Gotta love this car - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    For a retro based car, this is the most fun you can get. Great power with a little tweaking. It makes every one smile and, the driver is the lucky one. Every trip is an adventure. A true cult brotherhood among fellow owners. If you just get in on and close the door you will want one. FANTASTIC dealer involvement in "MOTORING ON"

  • Break lines split? - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I just bought a "s" last week. I also have a 67 kensington cooper with 15k miles. The "s" is a awesome little car, however, the day after I drove it off the lot the brake, dsc, airbag and seatbelt warning lights came on. Took it service, "Hey buddy, your not going to believe this, your brake lines are split and spraying fluid all over the place". Nice, considering I drive my 2 and four year old to school in this ride. My 67 is 30 years older and has been more reliable than my 04 with only 150 miles on it! Great job BMW! Brakes that work to much to ask for? Pathetic.

  • I own one. - 2004 Mini Cooper

    I own a Cooper S. This car was well thought through. I enjoy the handling and interior the most. The factory offers so many options and there are hundreds of sites and shops that sell accesories. Very well made car.

    The 2004 mini cooper is a great for someone who wants a car that is good on gas, is not too big, and has an excellent design. Please note that this car is VERY reliable. Also it may not look like it but it is incredibly spavious for such a small vehicle this car is a class of its own.
