Miatas were commonly available with out PS.  My 1984 Honda Accord (< 
1900 lbs) didn't have it.

That Accord was a great FWD "trainer"!  Really good feedback through the 
manual steering, and very low grip limits that forced me how to figure 
out making the most of FWD handling, rather than letting a torquy engine 
and sticky tires (eg:  my SE-R) pull the car around despite lousy 
driving technique.
