Ditto for my '78 Accord.  Not only is it easy to steer under all
conditions w/o power steering, it has a decent minimum turn radius:
something definitely *not* true for most FWD cars, especially with
p/s.  Similar vintage Accords (LXs) had a lot of trouble with the p/s
unit.

On the other hand, the power assist brakes are great, unless I have
slipped back into the necessary habits for driving my '78 Chevy Monza
(Son of Vega)!  Oink, Oink!
