Got Cascadia back on Friday after being in Eugene for a week getting the power steering upgrade.
Definitely worth it. I could steer at low speed before, but it was an effort. Much grunting and groaning while trying to parallel park. Post-upgrade? Flawless. Turning at low speed requires basically no effort now. This isn't the Faction Systems developed "software torque vector steering" that allows for zero-speed turning by turning the "inside" wheel backward; this is conventional power steering, so when at a stop, it still takes some elbow grease to turn. But any forward movement and steering is a breeze.
So much that I almost got into trouble in the parking lot after picking it back up!
