Never thought about it until I read this thread. Less weight, less cost, less maintanence, more money to spend on other do-dads.

Let's get to some nuts and bolts here: Does anyone know the steering ratio {i.e.- 16:1, 14:1} of the manual vs. electric power steering? Is it any faster or the same?

Worth it? You bet.

Cheap at twice the price.

It's a car rule: Options, especially designed to make your driving experience better, are good things.
