Not really "any" car, manual steering cars don't have any steering issues with the engine off and the reserve brake vacuum is managable, heck I can lock the tires up even when the vacuum is gone. But I also have a parking brake and engine braking (stick shift) if necessary. It really just a matter of practice, in a safe location preferrably.
But even in our power steering saturn, the steering effort isn't unbearable as long as the car is rolling. My wife manages the corners just fine. Though I would like to eventually swap in a manual rack just to save a bit more gas by not constantly running the power steering pump.
It really depends on the driver and car.
