Or the opposite. My Mom once had a car "updated" to add power steering. Since it had been designed for manual steering, and it was an American car (traditionally ridiculously easy to steer with power) it was incredibly easy to steer. No road feel at all, but you could steer it with a pinky even when parking. The downside was that there were way too many turns lock to lock since they apparently didn't switch the steering gears to the PS version.
