Power steering is one of those features that distances the driver from the experience of driving. Otherwise, a power steering pump and lines, and the possibility of the car becoming much more difficult to drive in the event of a power steering failure mean that I prefer not to have power steering racks in my vehicles.
The exception is large vehicles, like big trucks. They’re difficult to turn while moving slowly, and almost impossible to turn while still. Couple that with a long wheelbase and a broad turning radius, and power steering becomes a necessity.
