How hard is it to drive a car without power steering?
Depends on the car. Usually manual steering will be geared slower to make it manageable at the cost of more wheel-winding. (Old U.S. cars with manual steering would frequently be 5 or 6 turns lock-to-lock.) In general it would be toughest at low speed doing things like parallel parking. Lightest and quickest manual steering would be on a rear-engine car like a Corvair or a VW bug.
My 1989 Nissan D21 pickup has manual steering. I don't even notice it anymore. As others stated, you have to turn the wheel more at slow speeds, no biggie.
Really depends on the car.. I’ve driven tiny Suzuki’s without power steering no problems.
I’ve also tried to turn the steering wheel of a mid size sedan (engine turned off) while stationary & it was near impossible. I can’t imagine the strength you’d need while parking/3 point turns..
At speed, it shouldn’t really be a problem.
All the early Porsche 911s had manual steering, even with the gas tanks and two batteries in the trunk. Not a problem once you're under way.
