Faults:

Oil dripping from return pipes.

Clutch worn.

Destroyed bearing of an upper front suspension arm.

Torn seats (from age)

Some rust, but not critical (yet)

General Comments:

I got the car from the original owner with original everything (even tires). After a bigger service by an Cit-enthusiast mechanic (don't go to Citroen dealers, please!) the car goes like new. It glides over bad roads like a speedboat, engine buzzes and never misses a beat. It might not be the fastest car on the road, but once you learn to drive it properly (try not to loose speed in corners) it's great, brakes set standard then and are still good today (all 4 disc, inboard at front).

And it looks really cool, stylish outside and futuristic inside (Cyclops eye speedometer).

Buy one today because they might be extinct tomorrow!

Faults:

Engine recently started to lose quite a lot of oil.

Some rusty spots appear regularly on the rear wheel arches, floor pans and beams.

General Comments:

I like the looks of this car. To me it's a true design classic, however still unrecognised.

The combination of a floating suspension, good roadholding and super-precise steering is still unmatched in its class (and far beyond).

It's not the quickest car and can get noisy if pushed, but normally power is sufficient, and only on long travels a 5th gear is badly missing.

Seating and boot are quite roomy for the car's size.

The key to a reliable GS is regular (and sometimes expensive) maintenance.
