2004 MINI Cooper S consumer reviews

It?s a MINI. In Hawaii. And it?s awesome to drive! Great for small parking spots and twisty roads.

It's a fun sporty car.very easy to drive around both in the city and the country! The supercharged mini is a top notch car.

First things first, when I was 8 years old, I visited my grandparents in Tennessee, during the trip we drove through a very desolate neighborhood and boom, something tiny white and awesome caught my eye. It was an original Mini Cooper sitting behind a shed in back of a bar. From that point I made it a past to make sure that I would one day own a Mini. I purchased my Mini Cooper S as a pre-owned 2003. On the test drive that lasted 6 minutes... I fell in love all over again. My car had 88,XXX miles and I drove it until it reached 168,XXX and traded it in for $3,000!!! INSANE knowing that I had purchased the car for $6000 and paid it off in little to no time. I was shocked at the build quality, the ride handling and the overall performance of the car. It was definitely a conversation piece every-time I drove it. I recommend purchasing wheel bearings, because they failed often for that model and also purchase a throttle booster. It will breath new life into your Mini!

traded my wrangler in for my 04 mini s to save on fuel costs.PROS: GREAT fuel economy, fun ride.CONS: have spent far more fixing my cooper than its worth. (bushings, strut mounts, rack and pinion, coolant res, power steering pump- the list goes on). 95k miles on it- engine is solid the rest I sweat it every day waiting for something else to break- and nothing is cheap to fix on a cooper. Great PROJECT car, but not for every day. Miss my reliable wrangler- I would have spent money at the pump but saved in a TON of repairs.

I haven't bought a car iin over 7 years. The customer service we received here was impeccable! The sales guy (Edwin) was one of the most curteous sales men we've encoutered in our quest of finding a newer vehicle. Daryl the finance manager has got to be the most knowlegeable and honest finance manager ever!! If you're looking for a great automobile (not just in looks) but also in quality and you want great customer service, then this is definitely the place yiou want to come to. Pure excellence from beginning to end. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Car looks good-is fast and great handling-good gas mileage at least 24 mpg.-mine has sun roof-nice for summer. Ride is stiff-and bumpy over rough roads. has some rattles inside-and my be able to be fixed-for a price.

Got my 2004 used 7/09 with 60K miles on it - near mint condition in and out. Fully loaded excepting heated seats. Beautiful beige/black leather seats, amazing center speedo still takes my breath away, especially when illuminated at night, and faux? composite gray dashboard. Almost design perfection, with caveat being center console - looks a bit plasticy - a problem plaguing later models as well. Handling? Superb. Acceleration? Very good Comfort? Surprisingly, turned out to be a great road trip car (and we're in our 50's). Mileage? In our very mixed driving, about 33, although it seems to get 37-38 HWY. Overall, a Joy to own and drive, but as others have noted, repairs are VERY expensive. I dread the new clutch I'll need soon!

This is a superb vehicle for commuting, and for fun to drive pleasure. It handles like a " slot car", doesn't recognize a curve, just does it. It will handle a large body , and the seat is conforming to the body. It has sports car handling, so close to the ground you must be careful on sharp dips in come city streets. I have driven them all, and this care is as 9 out of ten for pleasure to drive, and all around fun, plus mileage is noithing to sneeze at either. Well over 30mpg at 80, and the six speed will do up to 38mpg.
