- Benefit in kind £1,867
- Tax payable at 20% £373

Editor Jim Holder said of the ŠKODA Fabia What Car? winner:
“The ŠKODA Fabia is a fully deserved winner – not just because of the fact it is a well-equipped and practical small car, but also because of the big name rivals it has disposed of in the process.
“We’ve driven and evaluated all of its rivals and, whichever way you cut it, the Fabia is the most rounded small car on sale in the UK today.”
The ŠKODA Fabia also won the Small Car category while the ŠKODA Octavia 1.2 TSI 105 SE won Best Family Car.
