Whats better Manual steering or Power?

Manual- for the simple reason that it's one less thing to worry about.
I've had two with power (a 74 Dart Sport, and a 69 Fury III) and I now have a 64 Dart w/ manual. I love popping the hood open and seeing that single belt for the alternator/water pump! Simple is BEAUTIFUL!
It took a little getting used to, but within three days I really didn't notice it was a manual, and I am not very strong (130lbs with arthritis).
Once the car is rolling, you can hardly tell it's manual.
Sure, parallel parking takes a little muscle, but you just get stronger.
