Hi Psyche,
Mars is far from at its best at the moment. It is getting smaller every night and the easiest features to see aren't facing us at the moment. Neither polar cap is facing us either. Quite a challenging target.
When Mars is at a perihelic opposition though (last time in 2003) it is well within reach of a 4" scope.
Jupiter and Saturn should both provide more pleasing views. You should be able to see Saturn's rings easily.
Have fun,
Doug
