Family reviewer

Nedahl has been a journalist for two decades, spending five years as editor of Cleo magazine and has been an editor at Cosmopolitan, Good Food and the Fairfax ‘Health’ section. She’s written across various topics for a range of high-profile food, health, travel and fashion-focused titles. She’s also appeared on The Today Show, Sunrise, A Current Affair, various radio programs and has been a guest judge on Australia’s Next Top Model.

Since having two children, you’ll more likely find her at the beach with the family than at a fashion show, doing a bunch of yoga classes, or cooking healthy food while drinking a glass of wine. And of course, the right family car is critical to keeping it all moving smoothly. A roomy cabin, plenty of boot space and stylish interiors rate high on her priority list. She also believes pink is the new black (except when it comes to cars) and that we should ditch single-use plastics.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Exceed 2019 review
By Nedahl Stelio · 21 Jan 2019
There are definite advantages to owning a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. Even if you've never thought about going off-road and you're not really a camping kind of person, a few weeks driving this car will have you planning road trips through rivers and along rocky coastlines and sandy beaches. Or at least, you can dream about it, even if those trips never eventuate.

Land Rover Discovery Sport 2019 review: SE Si4
By Nedahl Stelio · 15 Jan 2019
Presenting the Land Rover you can get for $60,255 (before on-road costs). It's the Discovery Sport, a five-seater SUV that competes with cars like the Audi Q5 and the BMW X3, but unlike those cars, can be optioned up to a seven-seater should you so desire.

Toyota Prado 2019 review: GXL
By Nedahl Stelio · 07 Jan 2019
I got a fair few comments driving the Prado this week. Mostly about the size. From, "Gosh it's big!" and "How can you park it?" to "I love big cars!" and "I can't stand big cars." It's a personal thing, right? You either want/need a large car or you don't. And you're clearly on this page because you do.

Skoda Karoq 2019 review
By Nedahl Stelio · 19 Dec 2018
Don't you sometimes sit around wishing for a more considerate, clever car? There are some car companies out there who spend productive days dreaming up clever, considerate ways cars can be more of service than just driving from point A to point B. Skoda is one of those companies. I test drove the Skoda Karoq this week, a five-seater small to mid-size SUV that is only in its second year on sale in Australia. It's bigger than it looks, and competes with everything from a Nissan Qashqai and Honda HR-V to the Mazda CX-5. There is one base, petrol FWD model and then you can add extras from there, which is actually a good way to do things. Here's how it performed over my week of family driving.

By Nedahl Stelio · 28 Nov 2018
It's the standard size car most families with two kids and a dog are looking for. The mid-size SUV.

Honda HR-V 2019 review: VTi-S
By Nedahl Stelio · 20 Nov 2018
The small SUV appeals to those who want something in the way of height for their car, but they don't want a huge truck to drive around. They want more space than their hatchback perhaps, but not so much space they can't fit into parking spots in the city.

Hyundai Kona Go 2019 review
By Nedahl Stelio · 12 Nov 2018
Looking at The Hyundai Kona you'd be forgiven for thinking it was particularly fun to drive. And you'd be right. It conjures up words I'd never normally think about using, like 'snazzy' and 'funky' and 'hip'.
