2004 MINI Cooper Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Good reliable car, I drive a long way to work and it gets good gas mileage, nice finish on the car good options, very well made. dont use the run flat tires they are expencive and ride hard. Overall very good car

Fun, Handles like a go kart, Fast, Sounds amazing, Transmission is beautiful, Looks so cute, Lots of features, lots of bright lights, interior is amazing. i love this car it makes me happy. its unbelievable. thank you BMW for bring it back :)

definitely a fun car, but too little power in low RPM, excellent suspension, drives like a cart, no modifications necessary, good handling, great craftsmanship, excellent quality overall, not economic at all for a car in that category, gas suspension is unreal when you go on the highway and ride it beyond the 200km/h mark

LOVE IT, better than my 06 330i... It out handles the BMW, as it is so small. It is quiet, comfortable, quick, good on gas, good looking... Free maintenance is sweet too. I can't wait to get another some day, it is paid off so I will keep it a while.

Great car to drive. Due to being a bit hefty for a "Mini", more power would be great (I would recommend the S if you have the money). A beautiful car inside and out. But don't let the retro design fool you, it drives brilliantly. Handling, braking and suspension are superb. Basically, the new Mini is a go-kart for adults. If you want a fun daily driver that you can throw around this is the one.

This car is a road race/auto-x beast! It will out handle some very nice cars and it is underestimated by all!

Always fun, never had issues, and damn fast

The best daily driver that at the same time is a gas saver and a fun car to use on weekends. Awesome supporting community and a future classic for sure. This car gets more smiles per mile than any other in the market.

My experience with this car seems to be better than most reviews I have read. I have had no problems with it at all. It performs very well and has a nice look and finish. It is funner to drive than the vast majority of sports cars and gets decent fuel economy doing so.

Fun, quick and great handling! Cargo space and rear seats are next to non- existent. Makes the daily commute to work fun, and fun for track days. Beautiful interior design, great retro feel (gauges, switches, etc). Overall great if you don't need cargo/seating space. A go-kart on the street :D

Overall review for me would be 5 stars. I've never had any problems with the vehicle. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Since minis aren't the cheapest car on the market, it's well worth it to put in premium gas and synthetic oil.

This is by far one of the best values. With a supercharged 1.6 l this car has plenty of moving power but with the advantage of a lightwieght body it still manages to get amazing fuel economy. I wish i could by a flock of MINI's and move to the countryside.

From the moment this car came out of the auto hauler, it was destined for glory. This little car is as close to a street legal go-cart as one can get. Fun to drive, with plenty of acceleration when you need it, and lots of comfort and tech features inside, this is the most solidly terrific car I have ever owned.

I love my Mini Cooper Convertible !!! It is a fun car and even if it is small you can put a lot of things in it. 4 people can fit, not for 1000 km but for short trips it's fine. My Mini is almost 4 years old and I will keep it for many years. Mini it is definetly LOVE !!

I loved this car. it was bought in Feb 2006 and traded in in Jan 2007. Nothing ever went wrong with it and it never let me down. These are great cars but can be a little small for trips and holidays.

This car is truly a joy to own. Everyday when I start it up and hear the pur of the engine and the perfectly tuned exhaust, it reminds me of why I love this car. It handles well and has amazing fuel economy. If you want something that is fun to drive and not a bear to maintain, get a Mini.

Acceleration, braking and handling were great. Never had any problem with it for the 4 years I drove it. Until the tires needed to be replaced, which was $200 each... Gas mileage was ok. Not great. This car was really fun to drive. Loved it.

Its fun, exhillirating, exciting, reliable, stylish, fantastic, tenacious grip - you have to have driven one to appreciate its funness! Its the best car I have ever owned and will most certainly have another, perhaps a cooper S or something maybe.

for such a small, economy-minded car, the mini can really zip. it turns great, accelerates as though it has VTEC or a turbo, even though it doesn't, and can stop on a dime. it could and should be more relible, though, and is uncomfortable on very bumpy streets, although surprisingly nice for the passenger on smoother streets.

It´s like a FUN go-kart built for the street.... it drives lovely at the raods and even better if it has some curves, it sticks to the road.. The suspension is a little bit hard but any timeyou are behind the weel it doesn´t matter how hard the suspension is.... I LOVE IT

It's an oversize go kart, which is fun,..unless you want to bring anything with you.. Size is great for tight parking spaces, roomy "enough" for short trips with *2 people. Very fun to drive, not for everyone though, stiff ride, steering is sensitive.. But you didn't buy a rolling sofa,..now did you?

I love my Mini! Such a joy to drive, it's peppy and cute and it just makes me happy. Great fuel economy, small engine, but not a good winter car (doesn't heat well when it's cold, squeaks and rattles when frozen). But I just love it!

No car is more fun to drive. After 4 years, I still love driving it. Since its a bas model the it's perhaps a bit underpowered but I've certainly had no trouble going as fast as I wanted. More power would probably just get me in more trouble

Good acceleration, a bit too heavy car though. Bad quality of plastics inside, really good looking, fun to drive, hard suspension. A bit too heavy a gas drinker, maintainance and sevicing too expensive as well. Good brakes, nearly perfect handling.

overall this mini is NOT mini its alot of fun driving all the switches are just like james bond movies if you want something original & want to be excited ever time you saddle up ..... *** this is it *** the mini wins !!!!

I had always wanted to test drive a Mini, but never made time to do it .... but i knew that i would enjoy it .... so when my wife saw this 2004 car on ebay, with the 17" wheels, and an auto, which she needed .... for only £3900, i thought it would make an ideal car for her, as she'd just passed her UK test .... So when i drove it for the first time, i knew that i had already bought it ..... Now we both drive it, and i enjoy it, just like my old BMC Mini's.

Everyone should own a MINI. Good acceleration, excellent handling and more fun to drive than the go-cart it is compared to. I should have gotten the sunroof though, but the next one will be better. The super-charger is okay the turbo is more responsive. Oil changes are scheduled at 15,000 miles, the S comes with run flats and there is no shortage of safety features.

Performance wise the acceleration is quicker than needed and the handling is excellent near the racing quality but still a little play and the braking is very responsive. the gas mileage on this vehicle is excellent but the maintenance can be expensive since it is a European car.

Its very breath taking for such a small car. The mini packs a punch with its hidden supercharger. The cost is a bit detering as the mini is a BMW. This car is AMAZING to drive all my friends love it.

She handles well, can be a bit slow to pull away at times but great for nippy country lane driving as the bends are great fun. The car needed a new radiator by third year due to a leak which was a manufacturers fault. They have a tendancy to overheat. Great fun car to drive tho.
