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.

Tesla Model X 2018 review
By Nedahl Stelio · 22 Dec 2017
Reasons I wanted to try out a Tesla: 1) It's an electric car with no engine.2) It’s seriously fast (one of the fastest cars on the planet).3) Elon Musk, natch.All good reasons, and then I found out they made an SUV version. Hold me back and tackle me down, I couldn’t WAIT to try it. I’d always pictured the sleek sports cars only. But the Tesla Model X 100D I drove for one glorious, glorious week was a seven seater (you can get it in a five or six seater if you prefer). Is it possible there is a superfast car that also actually works for families, so you don’t feel like you’re in a ‘mum’ car? Welcome to the car of the future.

By Nedahl Stelio · 19 Dec 2017
The thing about being a parent is that you have to sacrifice a lot. All your time, going out at night, maybe your work and definitely your sleep. Do you have to give up your funky car, too?
