A proper 'manual steer' car is easier to drive than a power steering

+1.

It is the same with power assist brakes.  The hydralic multiplication
factor is different between power assist master cylinders and true
manual cylinders.  The power assist brakes, without the power assist,
will require much more force on the pedal than a 'manual brake' system
requires to produce the same stopping power.

+2. I had a car once that lost its power brakes. Irt was very hard to drive to the workshop.
