no power steering

Not so bad. I was going, well, freeway speed (65 mph+). My experience with power streeing, which held true here is that it is not much of an issue as long as the car is moving, the momemtum helps. The more distrubing/scary part was the the headlights kicked off and interior lighting on the instrument cluster kicked off, the nav still had power, and I noticed that the breaks were not nearly as responsive. I was about 3 miles from the dealer, just downshifted and got there.

Don't mean to brag, but when the dealer sent an employee to move the car to the back after I parked it, he could not turn the wheel and had to have another employee sit in the front pasenger seat to help him.

I think i would have used the assist button, but in my great wisdom I did not get that option, actually, I guess I do have assist for one year without paying. I think I will extend it.
