Overview & Reviews

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.

• 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.

• 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.

  Best over all car 2003 - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By Car lover - November 1 - 10:00 am

  I feel right at home in the drivers seat of my MINI. As though the car were built just for me. Design is eyecatching, both interrior and exterrior. Handling? Ive never felt mor "ONE" with a car! Responds to my every command with ease and elegance. Even a 500Km road trip is a breeze...normally I cant wait to get to the nearest burger place while traveling up the 400! Rarely need to fill up-tremendously fuel efficient. LOVE all the attention I get at stop lights, parking lots, even on the hwy! MINI Downtown was very helpful and made me feel comfortable in my purchase...I bought the car after about 30 minutes in the showroom! This car is so ME!

  By minimom - October 27 - 10:00 am

  I love my mini. Has really good acceleration. It handles well, in turns, on road. Excellent and smooth ride on street and highway. Engine is nicely designed. Roomy enough interior. Nice interior design. Excellent heat and air. Good design overall.

  My favorite car ever! - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By drm - October 27 - 10:00 am

  I have owned a BMW, a Mercedes, a Saab, and an Audi, and the Mini is by far the best car I have ever owned. I enjoy driving it around town, and it is amazingly comfortable on long trips as well. The controls are well placed, the interior is surprisingly roomy and the ride, while sporty, is not rough. The handling is superior to any other car Ive driven, and, of course, it is by far the cutest car on the road!

  Most enjoyable car Ive owned - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By Fred Stecker - September 29 - 6:20 am

  Ive had my Mini-S for two years and my only complaint is the distance to the dealership for free service. It is solid, roomy, and has a jackrabbit approach to exceleration. I just Love it! Logest trip 600 miles with no aches or pains! Despite several recalls the folks at MINI want you to love your experience with this auto.

  I Love My Mini - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By Susan 232 - July 21 - 2:00 am

  Traded in a Toyota Sequoia for the Mini. Gas mileage is great. Handles wonderfully on the highway and never have problems in high winds. Car hugs the road and manuevers well. The interior is great and when inside, does not feel like you are in a small car. Great for parking in small spaces. Also find I can transport alot of "stuff" with the rear seats down if necessary.

  This is the best car I have ever owned! Not only is it fuel-efficient and a pleasure to drive, but this car actually has a "personality".

  This car is GREAT!!!!!!! - 2003 Mini Cooper
  By Toe - July 21 - 2:00 am

  I love my Cooper! This is the most fun car I have ever owned. It is well worth the money! My fiancee often compares the Cooper to our Trailblazer. He said the Trailblazer is a cautious vehicle on the highway going through the curvey mountains while the Cooper just says, "Go ahead take the curve, take the curve. No need to hit the breaks."
