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.
