Servicing centres on regular oil changes. The manual calls for engine oil and filter every 15,000 km or once a year, though owners often shorten this to 5,000 km or six months because the engine can use oil under hard use. Cambelts on the 16-valve versions need replacement around every 24,000 miles to avoid damage.
Safety equipment is basic by modern standards. Disc brakes all round with larger ventilated fronts and servo assistance form the core. A Bosch ABS system was optional on the first Evoluzione and became standard later, along with fog lamps. No airbags appear in period specifications. Seat belts are three-point but lack height adjustment on some cars. No official crash-test star ratings exist for this generation.
Keeping the car means watching for oil leaks, turbo condition, suspension bushes and body rust in the usual places. A full history from a specialist and regular use keep it reliable. The five-door hatch layout remains practical for daily driving when maintained.
