The last few seconds, where the car levels itself after the driver left...that´s the magic of these cars for me: they seem to be alive. The noises of the hydraulic system is the heartbeat that you always listen to and the movements the car makes when stopping or accelerates...it´s like a living being. When you have not used the car , it slowly settles down. When you start it again it rises like an animal that is ready to work. And they were mostly workhorses.Good ones. I drive my 6th BX(GTI,4HP14) every day to work and believe me I could buy a more expensive car. Why should I? They don´t have this "alive"-factor and I can repair absolutely everything myself on a BX. It´s a big piece of independence, not to be a forced victim of a repair-shop. Nothing new out there has that hydropneumatic feeling AND is reliable like the old GS/A and BX´s. Lack of depreciation included. I never ever lost money on a BX: The opposite is the case:They get more and more sought after, especially if they have been worked over and maintained. Thanks for the video!
This video should be a case study of how to make a driving video; good camera angle, good camera quality, just enough of the car and the driver, good driving skills, and espeially no annoying music. excellent quality driving video sir!
In jouw GSA heb ik nog een stukje mogen rijden, leuk dat je hem nog steeds in bezit hebt! Loopt goed zo te horen op de video. Nogmaals bedankt voor het ritje, gaf weer wat extra motivatie om mijn GS verder op te knappen :)
Und die fahren sich auch einfach nur traumhaft schön 💖 . Auch dieser Motorenklang mit dem typischen Getriebejaulen . Immer wieder 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Unseren GSA möchte ich nie mehr hergeben . Da freut man sich schon richtig auf schöne warme Sommertage .
Ik had in 1985 een GS Break, toen maakte ik kennis met HP vering, in 1990 een BX 1.9D break aangeschaft...en daarna diverse BX'en gehad (ook turbodiesel), maar die drempels in je filmpje voelde je dus weinig van in je rug. Ik rijd nu 11 jaar met een Renault Kangoo (type 1B), best goede stoel en redelijk zachte vering...maar blijf met weemoed terugdenken aan de HP vering van Citroen (waar ze volgens mij nu helemaal mee gestopt zijn?)
It appears as if the car only has 4 forward gears. Is that correct? I was sure that my fathers GSA Pallas had 5 gears, and I thought that was one of the improvements in the GSA as opposed to the GS' 4.
My father had to GSA's in the early part of the '80s and they both had just 4 forward gears. The first was a Pallas and second was the cheaper Club model.
It doesn´t: The spoke of the wheel is supposed to mimik one of the elements of the citroen symbol and therefore is never supposed to be straight when driving straight.

Je partage votre avis 😊
used to have an X3 in those times...loved the satellites !...and the comfort..
The steering wheel alone is driving me nuts 🤣
Als Kind in diversen Citroen und Peugeot der 70er u. 80er mitgefahren.
Vater, Citroen Vertragshändler.
Das Cockpit ?! Göttlich !!!!
all right I'm all in! Where are we going? Albert Heijn? FEBO? Beautiful ride.. Cheers from Berlin
Heerlijk dat prachtige boxergeluid! Mooie video.

Mijn ouders hebben er 3 gehad. Special (1015cc), Club (1220cc) en een Pallas (1220cc). Fijne wagens.
Citroen gsm mooie auto prachtig uitzicht
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Excellent driving !
S'il vous plaît refaite une vidéo avec votre merveilleuse GS sur route un bon 15 min voir plus 🙏
Super kanał👌
I really would have liked a close-up from that dashboard
an X3 AND a peugeot 404 in the same street !? must be the netherlands :-)
Its a pallas.
The old Peugeot has a license plate exactly the same as the old ones in Portugal, I wonder if it came from there !
It appears as if the car only has 4 forward gears. Is that correct? I was sure that my fathers GSA Pallas had 5 gears, and I thought that was one of the improvements in the GSA as opposed to the GS' 4.

Applaus! und Abo....
now i know, why the dutch like hydraulic citroens so much ! it's because of the speed bumps ! 🤣🤣🤣
Nice car man, when is the carpool karaoke?
Tracking needs sorting but love all quirky Citroen’s!
It doesn´t: The spoke of the wheel is supposed to mimik one of the elements of the citroen symbol and therefore is never supposed to be straight when driving straight.
What’s wrong with the steering wheel?
Nothing wrong. It is supposed to be adjusted to 7 or 8 o´clock, because it should symbolize one side of the Citroen chevron.
What about peugeot 404 in the early of the clip?
It's a 404Diesel
what engine is that?
4 cylinder aircooled boxer engine 1299cc
after that, i had a BX SPORT...even better !....and faster !

Lovely car, but that steering technique is awful!
