There is extra effort. Kinda depends on how good your upper body strength is. A good way to give it a try is to simply shut off the engine and do a coast in neutral at low speed. Find a "test" course which has some tight low speed turns. I myself find the effort fine on my Echo, but my wife couldn't handle the extra effort, so I don't delete the belt. Like vtec-e said, high tire pressures help a great deal.
