The Citroën GS and GSA, produced from 1970 to 1986, were a pair of compact cars known for their innovative design and advanced technology, particularly for their time. The GS, launched in 1970, was the first car to feature a hydro-pneumatic suspension system, which provided exceptional ride comfort and handling. The system used pressurized hydraulic fluid to control the suspension, allowing for a smooth and responsive ride. The GS also boasted a sleek, aerodynamic body, a small and efficient engine, and a spacious and ergonomic interior. The GS was a critical and commercial success, winning the prestigious "Car of the Year" award in 1971. It was praised for its innovative design, comfort, and fuel efficiency. In 1979, the GS was replaced by its successor, the GSA. The GSA shared the same basic design and technology as the GS but featured a redesigned front end, a larger engine, and a more luxurious interior. The GSA was a less successful model than its predecessor, partly due to the arrival of new and more fuel-efficient competitors. However, it continued to be appreciated for its distinctive styling, comfortable ride, and robust construction. Both the GS and GSA were popular in Europe and other parts of the world, and they remain sought-after by classic car enthusiasts. The 1981 Factory Service Repair Manual provides meticulous information on the GS and GSA models, which are essential for car owners, mechanics, and enthusiasts alike.
