246 motorway miles driven, 113 miles (30% battery) left – and it was 5 degrees. New Mercedes-Benz CLA is finally an EV you can reliably trust for high-mileage driving.

In fairness, I did one put 18,000 miles on a Peugeot 308 in six months…

Spotted a 2023 used car for sale; has covered almost 80,000 miles. I'm intrigued. What's it been used for?

The Mercedes-Benz CLA wins the European Car of the Year title – more than 100 points clear of the second-placed Skoda Elroq.

Love having @gidcoe.bsky.social on a Sunday while I work. Perfect songs and chat. Thanks, Gid!

Blimey! Like it was yesterday.

Definitely mine too. Looks sublime.

How good does it look in green!

I'm secretly only here for the 159 action!

Yes indeed!!

Thanks Rob (and Jim)!

Oh hello!

Dabbling continues. Which other motoring writers am I not following here on bsky, and can we recreate the glory days of car journo Twitter back in the early 2010s?

OMG... now that's brilliant cross-DJ linking, @bbc6music.bsky.social!

You won't experience the sheer love, care and attention that goes into producing Auto Italia Magazine any other way... it's impeccably put together, with colours that always pop perfectly - and even smells wonderful!

Will clear the diary!

Now that's how you get the weekend started, @craigcharles.bsky.social!

Yesterday looked like a very successful day.

Working late. And that's how you keep me happily glued to the keyboard.

I struggled to find DAB on the Skywell BE11 too.

Counter-counterpoint - too many cars seem to cook my iPhone when I leave it on the wireless charging pad, so sometimes default to cable anyway!

Have a car on test without wireless CarPlay and it’s literally like going back to the Dark Ages.

Brilliant, @tomrobinson.com!

Utterly charming. And it really is in beautiful condition.

I drove that last year for @autoitaliamagazine.bsky.social! Absolutely delightful car.

I'll have to ask them if they have any stats on tyres... ;-)

I'm fully here for point 3.

Will look forward to it, Ben!

Would love to see this happen, Matt. Loved Alex as a racer and respect has soared further in the years since.

Ooft. Bluesky needs audio!
