As the cars get lighter power steering will be less necessary. My petite daughter bought her first car, a 2000 GM Metro 1.3L 4dr. It has AC and an automatic transmission but no power steering. She is quite content. Go figure. Sadly not everyone who sells cars has quality in mind. Hence the saga of Pinto gas tanks or Corvair suspensions that would have been fine if the right components had been included. The long selling Toyota Corolla is the best example of value for money.
