It's possible, but not certain. Power steering was common on economy cars even in the early 80s. Check under the hood and see how many things are connected to the engine pulley via belts. There should be at least the alternator. If the car has air conditioning, the AC compressor, as well. And if there's one more item run by a pulley, that'll be the power steering pump. (and it it's supercharged, there'll be one more still, but that's unlikely) If the power steering is broken (leaking, pump not working, whatever), that may or may not be a problem. With some cars, the power steering is built to withstand being forced, in some it is not good for it. Does the car make kind of a whirring noise when you're turning the wheel? If so, that could be the power steering pump churning nothing. In that case you've probably got a power steering fluid leak. When I had that happen (84 Corolla) it was easily fixed with Valvoline fluid with seal conditioners (softens the seals and makes them expand). If not, the pump could need replacing. And of course, if it really doesn't have PS, just enjoy your new muscular forearms.

Look under the hood, if there is a pulley near the top of the engine with a belt connected to the alternator then you do. If you still cant tell, try parking in between to cars in a parking lot. If you have to muscle the car just to turn then you dont have p/s. Or if you do have p/s and it doesnt work, then there is a fault in the system.

actually i know the cx didnt have p/s, but i dont think the vx had it either. both were still great cars, just not for anything but going places very economically. both had the 1.5 liter vtec-e engines in them, so basically if you have anything other than a 1.5, the your car has p/s, if you have a 1.5, then id start lookin under your hood to find out.
