Rare first drive footage of famous musicians from the 1990s. Browse 3 clips below.
First drive content captures the raw, unfiltered reaction of driving a new car for the very first time — before familiarity dulls the senses and before the reviewer has had time to intellectualise the experience. These clips are the most honest form of automotive review, revealing genuine surprise, delight, and sometimes disappointment. The best first drives combine the excitement of the unknown with enough expertise to articulate what the car is doing and why it matters.
The 1990s was the JDM golden age and the decade that produced some of the greatest driver's cars ever made. The Mazda MX-5 proved that affordable fun wasn't dead, the Honda NSX rewrote the supercar rulebook, and the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota Supra, and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution became legends of the tuning world. At the top of the pyramid, the McLaren F1 set a standard that wouldn't be surpassed for over a decade. In motorsport, Michael Schumacher dominated Formula 1, while the World Rally Championship delivered some of its most iconic battles. The rise of consumer video cameras and early internet forums means footage from this era is more accessible — but the best clips remain scattered across forgotten websites and ageing VHS transfers.
