Used 2003 MINI Cooper Consumer Reviews
Crash review
My MINI was involved in a rear-end collision yesterday and help up fabulously. She took the rear impact like a champ, she only needs the bumper and muffler replaced. One thing that did concern me is my driver seat performance. Upon initial impact, it moved down towards the floorboard (seats go back, forward, up, and down) and as the seat back went forward from this it jammed into my lower back when I was pulled into the seat upon impact. I substantially injured my lower back right below my lumbar and have filed a claim with MINI, they agreed that this may be a problem in the future since crash tests were not done on the seats for rear-impact collisions. Other than that I love her to pieces!
fantastic car
No disappointments. Extremely fun to drive. Overall quality is excellent. Wouldn't mind some extra horsepower (probably around 200 HP would be ideal)

Driving my mini with a smile on my face
I love my mini. Has really good acceleration. It handles well, in turns, on road. Excellent and smooth ride on street and highway. Engine is nicely designed. Roomy enough interior. Nice interior design. Excellent heat and air. Good design overall.
Most enjoyable car I've owned
I've had my Mini-S for two years and my only complaint is the distance to the dealership for free service. It is solid, roomy, and has a jackrabbit approach to exceleration. I just Love it! Logest trip 600 miles with no aches or pains! Despite several recalls the folks at MINI want you to love your experience with this auto.
If it runs, it is great
The Mini holds up to the Motoring promise. Loved the extra gadgets and the culture. Problem was that I aside from the several recalls, I had to have numerous warranty repairs completed. Recently traded the car in as it was in service for 30 out of 60 days.
