Normally I wouldn't mind manual steering. HOWEVER, my wife is going to be driving this as well I'm sure she'll enjoy it better than turning that steering wheel a bunch of times in the parking lot.
I count about 5 1/2 turns lock to lock.
The resistance wasn't bad for me but then again I'm built like a line backer (at 6 feet tall and 235 lbs) not sure if my wife can, she says its fine but it might change once she tries to maneuver in it.
