1983 Citroen GSA Pallas review from Hungary
"Comfy. cheap car for everyday use"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust of the sidebars and some other parts (like rear brake pipeline).
Usual parts: rear brake pads and disk, some bulbs.
The biggest problem - when the car was scraped - the left rear suspension holder broke and the suspension was damaged totally. Althought this unwanted event happen to the car, I liked the car (and have already bought another one) ;-)
General comments?
I like the car because it is a mid-size car with a large boot, it's comfy, cheap to keep on road, and reliable.
The routine maintenance is OK, but some parts are restricted to reach (need to dismantle other components to reach the defective part), but because it's reliable you do not need to service it too often.
