IMHO they remove a lot of the 'feel' of driving.

How good it is to hear of someone else who doesn't much like power steering.
I had an old Fiesta that I loved.......my husband had a much newer car with power steering.....he said my old car felt like driving a tank.
I was loaned a car with power steering and it felt like I was driving a balloon on a string......it felt like there was no substance to it.
I was very pleased to have my heavy old fiesta back( I never had any problem steering it).
