CS Dept. Lines: 10 You asked if power steering is needed on front wheel drive cars, especially the Mazda 626. I have a Toyota Tercel w/o power steering and it is easy to drive. As a matter of fact, my wife has test-driven a Tercel 4WD Wagon with variable assist power steering and prefers standard steering. I suspect that the salesman who told you that power steering was necessary with front wheel drive was lying through his teeth but I don't know about the 626. Wally Dietrich
