Personally, I'd be quite happy without either sort of power steering. It's one of those things, like automatic transmissions, that IMHO are only useful as assistive devices for the physically handicapped.

FWIW, the only EPS system I have significant experience with, the Insight's, has plenty of road feel - maybe too much :-)
