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.

Isuzu MU-X 2020 review: LS-T 4WD
By Nedahl Stelio · 01 Feb 2020
The Isuzu MU-X is a no-fuss seven-seat SUV with heaps of space, and in top-spec LS-T trim, plenty of value for money. What better way to put it to the test, than a week-long family road trip holiday.

By Nedahl Stelio · 18 Jan 2020
It's small, cool, and this one's powered by a petrol/electric hybrid drive. Toyota's C-HR is a small SUV with a big personality, but does it have the practicality to serve as family transport?

By Nedahl Stelio · 17 Dec 2019
It's impressive enough to discover that a whopping seven-seat SUV like this LDV D90 can be had for under $44,000, but when you realise that it's the Executive, top-line model, it really catches your eye.
