I'm a strange person.
Now, a little caveat here, I do not have a driving license, but I have taken driving lessons and for a short time I did own a car (a Nissan Cherry [Pulsar N12] from the 1980s).
But I simply cannot get on with power steering. I had to, because the driving instructors car had it, but I didn't like it...didn't like the twitchiness of it. Ok, it probably didn't help that I'm a nervous wreck on the road anyway, but I prefer having a wheel that you have to
turn to get the wheels to move. So, in that respect I much preferred by little Cherry (which I called Turpin, as it Dick Turpin because wherever I went I held up traffic [no, that's not an original joke I'm afraid - see 'Good Omens' by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Damn good book]) to the driving instructors which I can't recall the make of, but it was one made within the last ten years.
