The 968 runs on unleaded premium gasoline. Fuel economy figures include combined consumption around 10.3 L/100 km, with city cycles near 14.8 L/100 km and higher speeds at 7.2 to 8.8 L/100 km. The tank holds 74 liters.
Servicing follows a schedule of oil and filter changes every 15,000 miles, with checks on belts, fluids, brakes, and systems. Additional work includes spark plugs and filters at 30,000 miles, transmission oil at 45,000 miles, and the camshaft drive belt at 60,000 miles. Brake fluid changes every two or three years depending on model year. Yearly service is advised for low-mileage cars.
Safety kit centers on dual front airbags as standard across series models, along with ABS to keep the car steerable under hard braking. Seat belts include a warning light. The structure uses double-sided galvanized steel with a rigid cage and crush zones. No formal crash-test star ratings appear in the records.
Keeping the car means sticking to the intervals, especially the timing belt to avoid engine damage. Bodies resist rust well due to galvanizing. Common points include checking for rear window leaks that can wet the luggage area, dual-mass flywheel wear, and Variocam components. Parts and manuals remain available through classic channels.
