Honestly, I think the manual steering is the best way. IF you get a GOOD wheel alignment, on for manual cars( yes there different!)
Make sure EVERYTHING is tight, have the right offset wheels for your car (not for just the biggest, but making sure the scrub radius is in the right spot). If you do this the car should be able to steer while parking and be responsive going down the road. The draw back is too many turns lock to lock.
I have a big block Ranchero, converted to manual, too big front tires, small steering wheel, still has the power alignment in it, and my wife can drive it. Can't parallel park it, but can get around in it.
But because of all that, once its moving, it very tight, only 3 turns lock to lock, very nice feel. But even I have a hard time parking it.
Not the answer your looking for, but another opinion. You will have to deside what YOU need out that car.
