I've not driven a DMC-12, but lack of power steering doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me? All the vehicles I've driven without power steering have been ok; usually the steering wheel is much larger to give you the leverage you need; it's not as bad as you'd think if you've used a car with inoperative power steering.
But yeah, I had a nice conversation with a guy who kitted his out as a movie replica at a outdoor showing of the film. He said it was fun to go to events, but it's terrible as a car. And some of the parts are unobtanium, like the flux capacitor. Not that that's unique for cars in that era, try finding a federal EGR filter for an early Vanagon; just gotta hack around it.

- toast0 2y agoI'd be surprised if a 1996 Cadillac was available without power steering? That's a big luxury car, and not having power steering doesn't feel very luxurious. I see there is a power steering pump on parts searches, but reviews don't mention it, and the steering wheel in pictures doesn't look too big. If the power steering on that was inoperative (maybe the pump died or the fluid level was empty, etc), I'm sure it would be a beast to turn in a parking lot though.
