Wouldn't have bought my 2017 if it didn't have power steering. I can ride all day and not be fatigued. And that's important when you get to 65+.

2018 P1k5 base with eps here.

Zero regrets. After 8 hrs of hard trail riding my arms are just fine.

I'm going to be adding a P1k 3 seater to the stable shortly. Dealer has left over 2018 eps and base model non-eps versions in stock. I currently have a P500 that I will be keeping and of course that has manual steering. And I've owned some non-eps quads in my past.

I was hoping for opinions from any owners of these regarding power steering on the bigger machine, i.e. Does it make a drastic difference, etc. Honestly I feel I would miss the paddle shifters more than the power steering. Price difference between the 2 would probably be about $900. Not a ton of money but enough to cover new tires and wheels.

Thanks fellas
I went from a Ranger with eps and had a tractor spinner on the steering wheel to a p1k5 with eps. The Honda is much stiffer even with the spinner, I cant imagine trying to drive all day much less 4x4 without eps, it just wouldn't be a fun day out. Get the eps and consider putting a slightly larger steering wheel on as well.
