MINI Cooper S 1.6 3d (04) (2004/04) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A little pricey especially once the Chilli pack is added but this soon pales into insignificance once out on the road.
Costs
Car too new for any outgoing costs. Does seem to like drinking fuel.

On the road
Driving
This is the most fun I have had driving a car. Certainly matches the performance with the Sports Suspension + and big wheels.
Performance
At this price and this size of car, I doubt it can be beaten. Especially like the supercharger whine.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far. Living up to its' BMW badge so far. It is only 5 months old though so again, probably too soon to say.
Image
Its a mini. Nuff said.
Comfort
At 6' 2"" I fit into the sports seats very well and it seems to have more headroom in the front than my Golf GTi that the 'S' replaced. Rear space suffers but is fine if you don't carry 4 people too often.
