2003 MINI Cooper S 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl S/C 6M)

Have put 4,500 miles on vehicle in about five weeks, and am gradually wearing thin of the attention vehicle is garnering wherever I drive. Bought the electric blue/white S version sight unseen, and, as of this writing, by far the most fun vehicle I have ever driven. Have yet to try more than 2 people, but plenty large and comfy for 2 large adults. IT IS A BLAST TO DRIVE!!
Perfect 2nd Vehicle

We have a Tahoe and this is perfect for us to get around town. Our kids still fit and don't mind riding around in the back. It is a blast to drive and the looks that we get around town are priceless. It has a surprisingly large feel when driving. Still when you get out you think "Man what a small car". We love it.

The interior build of the mini's leaves a lot to be desired. I chose not to buy one after *really* lusting after them.. the reason? The controls and gauges inside all have visible and poorly worked mold seams. That's just inexcusable. The interior is also about as plastic as a Fisher Price toy car walker my 3-year old likes to put around in. The faux aluminum panels won't fool anyone. Performance-wise, I find the minis (the basic, that is -- i haven't driven the "S") to lag really badly in 1st and do not much better in second. Yeah, it handles ok, but accelerates like molasses.
I <3 my Mini

My mini is my first car, i bought it myself and absolutely love it!!! My mom has one also and we both couldn't be happier with there performances. My mini was built with the sports package and its the best, the seats are so comfortable and the steering quality is excellent. The Mini Cooper is a great car for people of all ages and heights, even my 6 foot 4'' Grandpa fits in it with ease. Great over all car!!!
You owe this car a test drive!

The engine really loosens up after break-in. The car's suspension is very tight, so those that want to feel like they're floating on a cloud may I point you towards a 7-series. Let me ask you something: On gokarts is the ride cushy and bump-free? No. Do you feel connected to the road? Yes. Does driving one put a grin on your face? It darn should! This is a brand new from the ground up car. OF COURSE it's going to have a few issues in it's first production year, which I will gladly forgive. That's what a warranty is for. Note: my Cooper S has been very good to me.
