Couple questions.  Is the PS much nicer to drive? I now have nearly new MXT
reinforced tires(from the wolfsburg) and steering effort is much easier now
but still can't drive with one hand.

I drive an 84 & 85 for the winter.  84 w/out PS & 85 with.  The difference
is night & day.  My petite wife complains when she has to drive the 84.  It
is very noticeable when parallel parking or turning from a standstill.
