That Civic didn't even have power steering. I think it was a fancy option that the previous owner didn't feel they needed. If you were moving more than 1 mph you could turn it easily if the tires were properly inflated. You could feel the texture of the road through the steering wheel and stay in your lane by the feel of the worn pavement. If you were elderly or disabled, it sucked terribly. However it was a good little shoe car for a teenager who didn't have much money for gas.

One thing I absolutely hate these days is cars without a shifter lever. The stupid knobs that killed Anton Yelchin, the new Ford junk that won't shift if the car doesn't have battery, etc.... Also, electric parking breaks.
