But be sure to get the quick rack, 2.5 turns instead of 3.5. The early 
steering wheel is also a bit large, the S wheel is better IMHO.

Power assisted steering is probably fine if you have problems handling the
car when parking, otherwise manual steer wins on all accounts. 

And re. lightness: The six cylinder all iron engine is AFAIK is not VERY
MUCH lighter than the eight.
