2005 MINI Cooper S consumer reviews

I will more than likely never own another car again, the handling, the comfort, the aggressive acceleration and the look of the 2005 R53!!! Mini cooper S is the funnest car I've ever driven, also the most nimble, gives you the entire road to make whatever decision you wish. and will do exactly what you ask of it! I LOVE MY MINI!!!!

With a supercharged motor, this small car makes driving fun. Plenty of space for the driver and front passenger, not so much for the back seat passengers.

Best car that i have owned so for. Looking to add another someday. looking forward for my next Mini which will be a manual shift...gotta try one of those out.

Inch-for-inch the best vehicle (out of about 30) that I've owned. It's comfortable up front (i'm 6'3" and 350lb), fun to shift gears, quick, handles great, reliable, everything works, everyone i've met loves this car.

I love driving my R53. We bought it in 2013 and it had 14k miles on it. It did have trouble with the power steering pump. I fixed it and that’s the only problem. It now has 70k.

I am retired and have owned a lot of the best cars you can own, Lexus and Infinitis, and even though this is not in the same class, I am extremely pleased with the performance and reliability of this car. Highly recommend to anyone. Oh, and one more thing, mine is the best 2005 S in the country. 43,000 miles and in perfect shape, outside and inside.

Ive owned this car for almost a year and yes, Its not very reliable so far ive replaced the lower control arm bushings, tie rods inner and outer, shocks, brakes, strut mounts and the clutch. Yes it would be expensive is i had done the work at the dealer but if you are mechanically inclined you can save a lot of money. I've done all the work my self and honestly i would buy another mini again

Great car, feels like a giant go-kart. Super fun to drive, but man are they unreliable sometimes. Cost me way too much money to upkeep. If you're getting one, have a mechanic thoroughly inspect it.

It?s just a cutie! So fun to drive and be a passenger too! Great stereo! Perfect size. Great gas mileage. Heated seats, comfortable everything. Lots of room for back seat passengers.

Nice car drives great. Great on gas , and a smooth ride. My whole family loved it. Will recommend it to others who are stuck interested
