Eps Electric Power Steering?

[sbernali]

Electric power steering means no power steering fluid right?

[spdickey]

Yup, yes, affirmative.

Boy, am I upset; the dealer sold me a pint of special electric power steering fluid!

Why wouldn't there be fluid? Electric pump not a manual pump?

I was charged twice as much for dielectric steering fluid!

There is no pump. The rack has a torque sensor and an electric motor.

How does the power steering compare to the manual rack?

from what i've experienced on my test drives.....NOT MUCH! the only place you might miss having the EPS is in very tight parking areas.

i'm saving the $450 and NOT ordering the EPS.

And perhaps a little more feel of the road. I would have done the same, but unfortunately its packaged in with the leather seats (comfort package).

Yeah, same here. But I couldn't give up my heated leather!
