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!
