I'm gonna get a DX and the car isn't driveable, I'm concerned that it'll be hard to drive it when it's fixed since it doesn't have P/s.

can you curl 8lbs?

if not.. than it might be a little difficult - but if you have a 6yr old sister.. she could steer while you shift..

 

well i have a 1992 honda civic hatch back CX........its has no P/S and as long as your car is in motion its easy to turn the wheel its just when your sittin in one spot thats the part where i work out.......

 

I don't know, but my 92 DX sedan came with PS and Air....and they are both still functional (hot *** summers suck)...

 

I'm so used to mine that driving a car with P/S feels weird

 

hmmm curl 8lbs? I'm pretty sure I can, I'm pretty weak for a fat guy. I guess I'll have to start working out. At least I'll have PopEye forarms.

We'll see hopefully it's not to bad. I've never driven a nonPS car, I have a DA right now.

 

You get used to it. I have a 97 DX coupe with manual steering. It isnt as bad as you think, besides, when you drive a car with power steering it feels weird.

 

i'm driving w/o heater,p/s, and ac. Doesn't bother me at all......got use to it.

 

If you cant drive a car with out power steering then you shouldnt be driving... period.

 

my cx doesnt have p/s, it is not bad at all. Some people that drive it dont like it tho.

 

ps in a civic? whats that


youll be fine

 

cool, u guys are relieving my tension/worries.

 

yea i had the same debate when i was about to get a cx.

just listen to all the people here, you dont need it. i got used to it very quickly.

it also gives you a better control of the car and since a civic is less than 3000lbs you really dont need it.

 

Hatchbacks are nothing. Try driving a Continental or Chewy 1500 without power steering.

 

if it was a huge PITA,honda would have never sold it without the P/S.it has to be driveable by practically anybody,so i'm pretty sure you can handle it.i don't think any manufacturer would sell a car that any potential buyer couldn't drive.believe it or not,this car was actually designed to sell to a large variety of buyers-not just punk *** 17 year old ricers.
adding wider tires does make steering while sitting still a little heavier,but i'm sure your six year old sister could still handle it.

I just drove my buddies cx with no powersteering while I have it in my car. It's not that bad if you're rolling. But from a stand still trying to turn the wheel it becomes a little more difficult.

like i said,they didn't build this car to discriminate,so i'm sure practically ANYBODY can handle it.

that's what I was reasoning

 

after driving for a week you won't even notice p/s is gone

 

Its fine. You'll probably actually -Over- steer your PS car after driving the Non ps one.

 

Driving my DX is alot better then driving both of my parents cars with powersteering.
It takes a little more effort when the car isnt moving but you'll get used to it within 5 minutes of driving the car

 

work out those forearms

 

yeah you get use to it. the only problem is when ur tryin to park in those small spaces u gotta turn that **** to fit in

 

its easy plus you feel the road more

 

you don't "feel" the road any diffrent....
