Yes, actually I drive a 16v Rabbit everyday (2.0L 16v, PP, Port Matched,
cams, 2.25" exhaust, no A/C, NO P/S, CIS-E swap with computers) and it
steers easier than a bunch of cars that come into the shop with P/S!  Plus,
I like to have full control and it just feels like you have more of a feel
for the road without P/S!  Steers better than my 84 Roc with powersteering!
