The Citroën GS and GSA, produced from 1970 to 1986, represented a significant evolution in the French automaker's history. These compact, front-wheel-drive hatchbacks were the successors to the iconic 2CV, offering a more modern and sophisticated driving experience. Designed by the legendary Italian coachbuilder, Bertone, the GS boasted a sleek, aerodynamic profile that was remarkably advanced for its time. Its pioneering hydropneumatic suspension, a hallmark of Citroën, provided exceptional comfort and handling, while the innovative "hydrolastic" system offered self-leveling and variable ride height. Power came from a range of air-cooled, two-cylinder engines initially, later replaced by more powerful, water-cooled four-cylinder units. The GS was a critical and commercial success, winning the prestigious European Car of the Year award in 1971 and becoming a popular choice for its combination of comfort, style, and fuel efficiency.
The GSA, introduced in 1979, was essentially a facelifted GS with revised styling, a larger interior, and more powerful engine options. While retaining the signature hydropneumatic suspension, the GSA featured a more conventional, MacPherson strut front suspension for improved handling and roadholding. The introduction of a diesel engine in 1981 broadened the car's appeal to a wider audience. Despite facing competition from increasingly popular Japanese and German models, the GS and GSA continued to be produced for over a decade. They solidified Citroën's reputation for innovation and offered drivers an engaging and distinctive driving experience. The GS and GSA remain highly regarded by classic car enthusiasts, prized for their unique styling, advanced technology, and comfortable ride. The availability of a well-maintained service repair manual ensures that these iconic cars can continue to be enjoyed by future generations.
