Truthfully... I have no idea.... but why would you want power steering... just out of curiousity? I don't think I could drive a 2 w/ power steering. The only time it really gives you trouble is in parking lots when you aren't moving... is it really that bad?
its not that bad, except I do alot of street parking all the time and its a pain...and my gf drives the car too so she doesn't like it...wants me to get rid of the 2...I was like no way...its either get rid of the 2 or get power steering...

I can't believe she would make such an ultimatum....no woman is worthe losing your mkII!!! hahahaha
but anyways, it should not be difficult to turn or park at all. the mkII's i've driven, including my own, have never given me any troubles with parallel parking/turning and i live right outside DC and work in DC. If she has trouble parking a small sportscar with uncanty handling like an mkII, i don't think i'd let her anywhere near my mr2...just a thought
dont let her control the duece man....its a mans car and if tha lady cant handle it than so be it...no offense!! i could never let ma girl behind the wheel, only in the passenger seat holding on!!!

I let my girl drive my 2 right before I got it swapped. I figured... new motor... new tranny... what could possibly go wrong? I taught her to drive stick on my Supra.... which is probably one of the hardest sticks to drive IMO (comparing to what I've driven... Vettes, NSX, Shelby Cobra... etc)... doesn't help that the clutch is on its way out. Anyways... I was kinda worried because she is a little scary in the Supra.... she jumped right in the 2 and did an awesome job.... except she got a little nervous and layed about 10ft of rubber in the target parking lot
Oh ya... back to my point.... shes a tiny ass little girl... and she never had a problem with power steering. I think the gf needs to realize she shouldn't turn while the car isn't moving... thats way cheaper than powersteering
I have EHPS on my two, and i like it. Easier to drive with one hand. I tried my friend's two without power steering and it was a little more difficult, but not that hard. Just need getting use to, since I'm use to power steering on all my cars I drive.. As for which one is better, it's probably obvious that w/o power steering is better and handling and general road feel. And it's lighter for the car, and not worth removing or adding in IMO.
I wouldn't let me GF drive my car. She can try it once, but I know she would screw it up. Girls should stick with auto ALWAYS..
1992MR.TWO, power steering was an option so there is no way for us to tell you over the net.
Open your front trunk and see if you see a powersteering pump, or turn your wheel a bit while sitting still with the car on and listen for the pump to activate.
Without power steering, turning the wheel while sitting still is abit of a project, but you should never turn your wheel if the car is not rolling anyway.
For those having problems turning your steering wheels on non-p/s cars, make sure your tires are properly inflated!
