  Having owned a non PS 8V Scirocco II, and now owning a 16V with PS, I
prefer the non PS. Its a little more effort to park, but its not that bad.
The PS really seems to me to take away alot of the feedback I used to get
from the steering. I don't know if never VWs are better, but I'd just as
soon not have it. I test drove a Talon a year or two back that had variable
assist PS, and it was great. The only time it felt like there was any sort
of PS was when you were going very slow. At highway speeds, I couldn't feel
any assist at all. I wish there were a simple way to retrofit a system like
this...
