Not really sure what experience some here have had with non assisted steering but it was/is far from all fun and games.
Vehicles that had steering with great road "feedback" that I have drove.

Is that a 1/2 inch wide crack in the road? OK lets just follow it and see where we go.
You want to turn while sitting still? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL suuuuuure.
