But according to Mini, it's actually there to stop your shopping whacking you in the back if you brake suddenly.

What you do get is this sort of red bar, which, at first glance, looks like a strut brace designed to improve the integrity of the body shell. The other thing I should point out, if you look inside, in order to save weight, Mini has junked the rear seats- you can't even have them fitted as an option- and gone to is the luggage shelf. Now, you might be thinking this is a moment of aerodynamic genius, but what it's actually for is to make sure that you don't decapitate the aerial every time you open the truck. Now, the piece de resistance is this split-wing, complete with little gurney flaps. You get some fantastic looking exhaust pipes. If you crawl underneath, you'll discover it isn't really a diffuser at all. And then, if you can follow me to the rear, please, sir, there's a diffuser down here. But what it actually does is collect gravel- strange. But if you follow me, you'll see at the back here that these vents don't really go anywhere. And apparently, they channel down the side of the car. This is using carbon-reinforced plastic, the sort of thing that you find on the BMW I3 and I8. These kind of wheel arch extensions designed to widen the track of the car give you, in theory, a bit more poise and stability. So ready for this, Charlie? Stay with me. My old skiing buddy, Matt Watson at Carlyle has his Stick of Truth, and I have my Chopstick of Shame. But what does irritate me is how much of it is fake. Now, whether you like it or not is purely subjective, and I certainly enjoy its sense of theater. It's like Mini's designers took one look at the Honda Civic Type R and said, hold my beer. The Mini Cooper S that won the Monte Carlo rally still looked like my mom's shopping machine. That first, classic Mini really was a work of genius, a genuinely pioneering family car with trick suspension that just happened to be good on the track and rally stage. And I'm sure we can all agree what a tragedy that would have been. It was my mom's first car, and legend has it that if she hadn't broken down in it and asked my dad for help, then I wouldn't have been here. To be honest, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Minis. But before all of that, be sure to subscribe to the Edmunds channel, and check out the link below for a companion piece on that reveals all the testing data.

We're going to put them through the full Edmunds testing procedure, and then we're going to drive them on the track and declare a winner. Both are either new or updated, both are over 300 horsepower, both are front wheel drive, and both are uncompromising in their pursuit of performance. I'm Alistair Weaver, and we're here at the Edmunds Test Track with two of the hottest hatchbacks ever produced. It's the condenser.ALISTAIR WEAVER: The Honda Civic Type R has long been Edmunds's favorite hot hatch, but now its crown is under threat from the limited edition 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP, the most powerful, most extreme, and the most expensive production Mini ever. So if anyone else is having the same issue, your're not crazy. My appointment is made for next Thursday. That the parts are on a national back order. she connected me with someone else and they explained to me that mostly all 2020 Honda models are being recalled in because there is a problem with the condenser from the the factory.

Finally, I called Honda and after some back and forth with the front receptionist.

By the time I got to the hospital it was still blowing out HOT air. I let it run for 20 mins before taking it for a drive. Later in the day the temperature hits the high 90's and I have to get to the hospital (where I am employed). I woke up around 6am today and decided to wash the car, turned on the AC and started to blow out cold air so i figured I didn't have to go anymore. So yesterday I made an appointment with Honda Service to get it checked out, she told me just to bring the car in with out an appointment. I figured the car needed to be broken into more but this has never happened to me before with any new car. But I noticed it wasn't really blowing cold air, more like lukewarm or semi-cold air. As the weather starts to get hotter and hotter, I've decided to use the air condition(obviously). I had one issue with the paint that the dealer corrected but I started to notice something else lately.
