i like power steering. paralell parking and getting into my driveway is VERY nice with P/S. besides all i do is remove the belt if i really need to save that much POWER :P

LSD > no P/S.

I'm using power-steering atm, probably move for non power soon after i get my new exhaust and headers. all my past cars have had power-steering but driving my mates EG without power-steering was an experience

I prefer it, as long as it's not the light and soft type, the power steering on the eg's and my integra are perfect i think you get 0 play on the road and immediate response. Now Camry's and such... good god no feel what so ever :x

it's not too much different on the road, but manuvering at low speeds it can be hard to turn. turning from a stop you'll need 2 hands. rim/tire width probably has some to do with the difficulty as well.

It was nice to have, but I am glad I gave it up for less weight and a cleaner bay.

Hmm. Yeah, I think I remember our corolla back home didn't have p/s. But what if you do track? Wouldn't that be hard in cornering? :?

If you are actually going, say above 10mph it's usually a better feel than p/s. The only problems people have is basically parking. But, think of it this way, you will beef up your forearms if you are p/s free!

If you have small tires it's even easier to turn. But if you've got some monster grip tires :?
