My girlfriend has an '03 Cooper and she loves it. She's had it for over a year and she's never had any reliability problems. The only thing it's ever been in the shop for was a defective passenger window regulator which failed in the first week she had it. It's a kick to drive and at around $18k, really not all that expensive for the novelty and overall quality of car. Of course, to say that the car with a back seat that size "seats 4" is a little bit of a stretch... I'm 6'3" and the only way I can fit in the back seat is facing sideways sitting in a semi-fetal position.

My sister in law has one in grey and I was quite impressed when I drove it. Since our cars are so unique the cooper is another example of something different out on the roads. As small as it is it actually seats 4 and as large as our car is it only seats 2... > > > >mike c > > > > > > Yahoo!
