   Hi
   
   Did the 1.4 VSX come with power steering as standard? (in 1996)
   
   I have had a look at a 1.4 VSX today, the steering is VERY VERY stiff, the guy selling it claims that it doesn't have power steering and this is pretty normal but im not so sure.
   
   It is a lot stiffer than any other car I have driven without PAS, im thinking it might just be broken

   The reservoir will either be bolted to the slam panel to the right of the radiatior.Or further down again to the right of the radiator.

    Twas mine and it didnt have it, i can be 100% sure the vsx was basically a westcoast with out the kit and power steering, if you wanted power steering it was optional extra. oh the vsx also has electric mirrors like the vts
