This is so light on the front wheels (~1200 pounds) , and contact patch of the front tires so small and narrow , that I bet if they tested one optimized for manual rack and pinion steering it should be quite light and fast. And of course save a few dollars in build costs and afew ,ess electronic and mechanical thing that can fail.
The current power steering is good, but a little lacking on transmitting road feel.
Realistically, I fon't ever expect Mitsubishi or any mainstream maker to dare try to sell a car without power steering.
But if they did on the MiEV i would bet it would be fine.
