I have manual everything on my car. I have to roll the windows down for AC..I also have the power box which I think is a 16:1 over the 14:1 manual box. It is not a problem unless you try to steer while sitting still. As long as you're moving, it's not bad. and..yes, I drive mine 50+ miles every day.

The power box is the same basically, just a different ratio. Never had power steering, but when my box wore out, that's what I replaced it with.
