IMO no PS is better as long as the car CAME that way. Now when your car is SUPPOSED to have PS and it doesnt work, then it is a bitch!

If it is a heavy car (espically one with a lot of weight over the front wheels) it is going to be a lot of work to manuver at parking lot speeds, and probably will be a little more work while driving in town.

depends on the car's weight. Not a problem with lighter cars, but in heavy cars like supra's, 300zx's ect it can be noticed alot more then a light car like, rx7,240's esc.

I don't know about lighter cars, but anything over 3000 is a pain in the ass to drive without power steering. Assuming you're talking about a car that has a power steering rack minus the power steering. Replace it with a manual rack and it's not bad at all.

I just bought a new/old car last nite----( my signature!) and it has NO POWER STEER. This is my 5th ride and a change with no p/s. It was very hard to deal with but after a day of driving it around I kinda got use to it but I would highly prefer a car with p/s.
