Three-point turns are a PITA, otherwise it's not bad at all 
Models without power steering are only tough to handle at very low speeds. Just make sure you are moving when turning the wheel and you won't have a problem.

it's not that bad.
the engine and tranny are in the back.
Once u hit 5MPH it's really cake.
But think of it this way:
More input and feedback from the steering response for a more accurate driving experience.

No, not bad at all as long as you are moving.
If you have access to it, drive it and see first hand. :biggrin:
Buying a used 91, U are better off without power steering although it may be heavy at lo speed. PS is a very expensive and hard to source replacement item. See the thread under power steering. U will get used to driving the non PS unit after a few miles.
With the OEM tire sizes it's not hard at all. Once you go 17 or 18 it gets a bit harder if you aren't rolling a little. If it's too much of a problem for you then I suggest a Lincoln Towncar. :biggrin:
Don't worry about it -- it lightens up nicely above 130 :smile:
I actually prefer the manual.
The front is so light since its mid engine and aluminum

no PS is the best. less crap to go wrong.
you get use to it in a few miles and you work those arms at speeds in the range of 0-1 mph after that it feel just like PS.
if the wheels are moving even a MM it easy.

My daily driver is a 300zx-TT with power steering.
I can say that I don't even notice that the NSX has unboosted steering.
I'm 5'11" 175-180 pounds

I drive a 91 NSX with Advan RS 17x8's on the front (18x10's on the rear), thanks to SoS.
Any extra effort required for very slow speed turns or parking is quickly forgotten as soon as I am driving the car forward at any speed above five miles an hour. The steering is very responsive, great feedback, just superb IMHO. I can still remember my test drive in the car, rescued from a used car lot. It felt like I was steering a go-kart. It still does! :smile:

It's only hard to move if you are not moving. Anything above 0mph is easy.
From someone who just bought a 91' with no PS. Its really not a big deal. I thought it would be but I do like the feel of it without. You feel much more connected to the road.
I agree, I have driven both. the manual steering seems to have a better feel. I can palm steer the wheel if the car is just barely moving. My wife drives it with no issues.
Remember, there is little weight over the front wheels.
I have a 1991 NSX and have never driven an NSX with power steering. This summer I drove an S2000 and noticed that the steering input was light on both cars but holding a tight corner in the S2000 felt easier, it felt like I didn't have to fight the steering wheel as much and there was less bump steer. I realize that these are different cars but am wondering if the power steering on the NSX has a simular feel. If it does it would make a long day throught he twisties less tirering.
