2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Summary

When it comes to choosing a family car, sedans are often overlooked for their long-legged wagon or beefy SUV cousins.

They're a bit of a forgotten hero but they'll always hold a piece of my heart for their practicality and (often) sexier kerb-side appeal.

If you can get used to your body cracking like a glow stick when you get in and out of them, the sedan may make a comeback!

The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, in entry-level C200 form, has definitely tempted my family to consider a sedan in the future – it looks stately and refined but the driving experience also makes it fun.

Let's see what else it did right and if there was anything that could be improved.

2024 Ssangyong Musso Summary

The SsangYong Musso XLV Ultimate is one of, if not the, most affordable part-time 4x4 ute on the market at the moment a recent facelift sees some improvements to its design, features and ride comfort.

I'm in the top-grade model with my family of three to see how those tweaks translate to real-world family life and how it competes against rivals like the GWM Ute Cannon and the LDV T60.
