The car is light enough to not require power steering, which deadens feel and adds significant weight and manufacturing costs.
Manual steering will always be superior for road feel etc. in a small and nimble vehicle. As they get heavier, it becomes less practical to rely on muscles to power the steering.
Technology progresses as well, PS in the 50's was sure as hell not a sports feature, now it is much more so with vastly improved feedback.
