Yeah, the 8 is a bit tough to drive without the power steering.

I don't recommend doing this but if you must feel what it is like, turn the car off while cruising down the freeway and change lanes before starting the car again.

Actually, its more like having someone reach over and yank the wheel when you don't expect it and then turning off the ignition.
At speed, it isn't hard to deal with. Its when you are trying to park that it gets difficult.
