  • A Great Ride - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    First car Ive ever owned that Im absolutely sure that most people on first view, want to pat it on the hood! Turns heads wherever I drive it. I loved the speed on European autobahns (138mph by my speedo), and the handling on twisty mountain roads. It is NOT fun on washboard or potholed roads (too many of those in Michigan). Its not really a car to me, more of a mid-life crisis antidote.

    The 2004 MINI Cooper Hatchback has been great for mountain driving. It has loads of power and is zippy around corners. It has great pick up as well. I have driven it on long road trips too. There is plenty of room for two people plus luggage. My four year old sits in her car seat in the back with lots of room. The warranty service is great too. Its the best I have ever had with a car. I highly reccomment this vehicle!

    2004 Cooper S with 124000+ Miles. Only problem encountered was the stock tires. The car is used for work commute of 100 miles round trip per day in Mighigan. In rain and snow, stock tires did not hack it. The dealer has been great. The only maintenance so far has been service periods which for me clock in at about 23000 miles.

  • Best handeling - 2004 Mini Cooper

    With CVT it is slow getting off the line, but once uderway, it is one of the best handeling cars I have driven. If it werent such a dog, the CVT would be a great transmission. A lot of fun

    I have wanted a MINI since 1967. So I had high expectations when I bought mine and BMW has met them all! I would buy this car again in a second. Its the first car that did not have to go back to the dealer in the first year of ownership. I would recommend getting rid of the run-flat tires though if you want a better ride.

  • this is a great car! - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    Ive had many types and makes of cars and this is by far the best value Ive ever owned. The dealership is a cut above all others and has gone out of their way to make buying a car and servicing that car pleasant. The car is outstanding. My only regret is that I did not get a few more of the options but nothing I cant live without.

  • Mini car; major problems - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    This car looks wonderful but the build quality leaves a lot to be desired. There are rattles and noises that no- one (not even the unhelpful dealership where I bought it) can find and resolve. The car draws attention even from the blind but I just cant get past the cramped feeling from the interior.

  • Super Car - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    Bought it off ebay in 1/08. I really like the feel the car it is solid. I have had 4 people in it back seats are ok. It is a gocart I driver a nice curving road to work OH MY what fun. Fuel MPG I get 31.6/32.3 most of the time. I hope I never have to sell it to pay the place off.

  • Yippee - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I bought a cooper S in October of 09. I have always wanted a mini since the age of 16. Now at the age of 46 it was well worth the wait. I have had no bad experiences with this car. It is as fun to drive as it looks. I was hesitant to purchase after reading all the negative reviews. To compensate for unwarranted repairs, I purchased a 2 year extended warranty. I would strongly recommend this car for the person who loves having fun and enjoying life.
