NO power steering! You crazy ecodrivers! What's next, no power brakes?! Power steering has been around since the beginning of cars, you just can't operate one without power steering. One time I lost power steering and my car almost self-destructed. What will you crazy people think of next, I suppose shifting into neutral on downhills leaving yourself completely vulnerable. Ok, now take everything I said and change it to the opposite. Power steering is useful, especially when at a stop and have to turn, but you can do without it quite well. It might take a little getting used to, so you should test it out in a parking lot, but there shouldn't be any problems. Oh, and I did lose my power steering once and didn't notice for almost two months.
