  • A great car if you have a spare one and money - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    It holds the road like it was glued to it and it is easy to drive, but after that it is all bad. I have lost track of the repairs it has needed. Three transmissions and four clutches with the first transmission and clutch at 10K so it isnt the driver. The front air dam falls off it you even touch a curb. The leather seats are falling apart. Heat and AC havent worked in two years. The third stop light leaks and goes bad every couple of years. The muffler failed at 21K. The key doesnt work if you are more than ten feet from the car. I would never buy another even though the repair record on the newer models looks a lot better than the one for 2004.

    Handles well in all weather. Its very pepppy, and the gas mileage is great. I like it better than the New Beetle I had.

  • I luv my MINI!!! - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    The MINI is awesome. I got it early for my 16th birthday. I dont see a lot of young people drive it, but they should. Its so cute and fun. I get more complements on it than any other car. When I drive people that pull up next to me actually look over, and tell me (or mouth) how great my car is. It fits anywhere, and to contrary there is a lot of room inside. I can fit four people in there so easily, and they always comment on how much butt space there is. Also my mother loves the fact that its so safe. MINIs ROCK!!!

  • The best MINI ever - 2004 Mini Cooper

    I have never drove a car like this It has a corner handling like A go cart it has more than enough power to let the wheels spin even in third gear.(with tracktion control turned off) the brakes are very powerfull even in wet conditions.

    The MINI Cooper is one of the best cars I have been in. Everyone should try out this vehicle. Not only is it comfortable, it drives smooth and has a wonderful design.

  • DONT BUY A MINI! - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I bought this mini just over 6 months ago and have had nothing but problems! Got it from a local deal with a 3 month warrenty, kept having to take it back and now have a constant reoccuring problem that no local garage can find let alone sort!!! Warrenty has run out now the costs keep rolling in!!!

  • Automatic Transmission Problems - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I purchased the car at 44000 miles so have no idea if this happened before but at 60000 miles the transmission died on me! Whole new transmission installed and now Ive learned this is an ongoing problem. When will the next failure occur? Not a cheap fix, believe me, to say nothing of the inherent danger in losing all power without warning.

    This is more fun than my Vett. I lowered the car so the ride is a little more harsh but it looks wat to cool, I put on 18 inch rims too! no rubbing. no regrets
