Yeah, I've definately noticed the lack of power steering after restarting. Caught me off guard the first few times but I've gotten use to it. Are there any mods to imrove FE that have been done to your inlaw's 3s hatch? I've got some basic ideas but read last night that the drag coefficient is like .35 and I'm thinkin that is pretty high so I've really got my work cutout for me.
