EPS has different scheme of operation

some doesn't has any direct mechanical link between steering and wheels. Typical those cheap system use this kind of design

Steer by wire yo

Some eps system are so sensitive that a loose battery connection can totally disable the electric assistance

you never tried you won't know.

you say folks who drove cars without power steering can manage better? maybe, but understand it's heavier to turn a faulty assisted steering than a non-assisted steering due to extra parts in the assist system like pumps/motors/hydraulics etc, those are added deadweight when the system is off.

also, some cars tend to lock the steering wheels, it's suppose to be locked when the engine is off to prevent theft, but jsut for you to know, like many things which can go wrong, it may just lock your wheels while driving.

still can't solve lost of brake assist part (brake pump).

if you remove the brake pump it will make braking alot harder compared to no power steering.

hands down hydraulic wins
dat feel when u steer it, EPS is just no feeling at all
toyota one, so soft can even steer using pinky

not to mention hydraulics are reliable

i know hydraulic vs EPS has their own pros and cons
ultimately i still prefer hydraulics over EPS
it just doesn't have that feel when you're steering it
and if its done right, alignment is correct, lane keep on highway can be comfort and no correction needed as well
proton is the prime example of hydraulic steering done right
now their EPS also not bad based on review

im now using EPS as well
but i had fun when i went back to my hydraulic car

its not better or worst or precise
ppl who love hydraulic is because of that feeling when u steer it
EPS is just dead, no feeling of steering the car at all
in simple word, its too soft, toyota one is way way way too soft

lotus cars use hydraulic or electric?

cause youre talking about handling, precision and feel..
i might introduce you to a company called Lotus, renowned for handling, precision, feel and sort of..
or Porsche, where the introduction of EPS had caused lots of dissatisfaction among the enthusiast..
Even the top hypercars like P1 and LaFerrari using hydraulic steering with the hydraulic pump is electrically powered..

or youre just talking about EPS on the Axia, Ertiga or Elantra level...

it turn back at low speed but not fully...
i still need to do some adjustments...
but for me no problem coz the steering is light and easy to turn...

I wonder why yesterday no one noticed the blog vs the police report are different circumstances?

True. But when you drive power assisted and non power assisted, the steering return to center speed also differs. Which is why sometimes i expect the steering to come back to me at certain turns but it does not on power assisted ones. Steering fight back to me is the one that determines feel. Hydraulic steering offers less road damping than electric ones. Non assisted feels like the whole steering assembly wanna fall off. hahaha.

No really the fight back is the one that determines how much angle you have input. When you have assist it remove some of the mental estimation that we are built with. We rewire ourselves to adapt to the assisted version. But to be fair i have driven non assisted version far more than assisted ones. First thing that comes to me when i drive assisted one is it REMOVED FEAR. In a way that is a good thing and bad thing. Steering kick back is only bad when you start to scream and cover your face when you hit an obstacle.....
