Readign alot about people with 2.0 Xe or lets and alo of them seem to prefer non power steerin with these cars. but they supposidly have bad handling etc. So why choose non power steering? :/  sorry if i sound dumb ( aka pug nut style  )

power steering is for girls, its a small light car, theres no need. also power steering makes no difference to the handling, shit suspension does.

actually power steering makes alot of difference - ive tried a 5door B and my powered steering 3dr B (aye, weight difference, but i canne be that much), and its bloody noticable - especially parallel parking, its a complete bitch 
However, once your doing about 30+ its fine - canne notice much tbh. And doing 70 etc, i found it slightly better than powered steering, just because it isnt so sensitive etc

so like i said it makes no difference to the handling  agreed it makes a difference when parking, but its not like you cant turn the wheel without it

lol yea basically
although tbh, its only a few kgs and i believe its not that bad fitting it back on etc so i would go with it mate - its just that there will be times when you think that you wished you had it etc
