    great car. a real head turner. runs great. not much storage or little nooks and crannies. manuel transmission drives itself. run flat tires are a misery. way too stiff. don`t buy this model if you have back or kidney problems...or use a pillow. having a great time with this car.

  • Mini in Quality - 2004 Mini Cooper

    I love the looks and space, but was disappointed with the the quality of the car. In 4 years I have spent almost $5000 in repairs. The battery was dead at 3 years. Several months after paying $700 for an oil change/inspection the check engine light came on and the car was sputtering. The spark plug wires were bad. Several months later the oil light came on. It needed a switch, but then also needed an engine harness and starter. This work had to be done at a dealership and took one week to complete. I was fortunate that they had a loaner available. I am afraid to take this car on a road trip. I am thinking of trading it in on a Honda. I never had such expensive repairs with my Honda

    I just love the way this car feels when driving thru turns, very nutrual and forgiving. I thought a long highway trip would be an uncomfortable buzzy drone. but was pleasently supprised with 900+ miles run from NYC to Buffalo,NY, and back in one weekend

  • Motoring to Repairs - 2004 Mini Cooper
    By -

    After 14 visits to the dealer for repairs, one time having it towed to the dealer and countless calls (in excess of 25) to the MiniHelp line - all in 12 months. The fun is gone!!! There are cars that are lemons - and mine appears to be one of them! Too many issues to list, but the worst one is the fact that BMW will not fix an issue unless the issue is present when you bring it to the dealer. Example: my power steering worked intermittently for 2 months and was only fixed when the car overheated and had to be towed in - luckly the power steering didnt work when it was dropped off.
