Fifth Gear’s Johnny Smith finds out how a Ford Focus previously involved in a frontal accident and repaired with severe economic restraint performs in a head-on crash test with a similar but non-accident Ford Focus.

On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago convinces Mazda to hand him the keys to the only left-hand drive RX-7 Spirit R in the world. After a quick look underneath the car, Carlos hits the winding road to explore the involving driving experience and rotary engine that made the Mazda RX-7 so unique, as well as its connection to the new generation of lightweight, rear-wheel drive coupes like the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S.
