do ALL 1.1s have powersteering?
my mates got a 1.1 'first' i think its called? sorry i dont know much about 1.1's 
and basicly hes always blaming his driving on there being no powersteering, but i thought it was just as standard?
sorry for a rather nooby questions but i was just wondering if he does and its just got no fluid/he doesnt know how to fill it, or if its genuinly got no powersteering

don't think forte's have power steering - besideds powersteering is purely for parking purposes it kind of 'stopps' working at speed if it didn't that you'd be saying hello to mk2 lampost at 70mph lol.
its not the car its the fact you mate is just a shit driver

when your moving at reasonable sped there is like no difference in feel, slightly heavier without PAS. As said above, only helps so you can actually turn the wheel without moving backwards/forwards at anyspeed..

A bad carpenter always blames his tools.
They're not hard to drive, they're not hard to steer. Your friend needs to man up.

My 1.1 didnt have powersteering and its barely different to drive than my VTR. If you cant control the car without powersteering, you are a faggot (not aimed at op).
