Power assisted steering *IS* power steering. They are the same thing.
There can be various levels of boost, various types of steering systems and method of assist (hydraulic, electric) that will effect the feel at the steering wheel.
The 5th gen still uses a hydraulic power steering system, just like the 3rd gen. It is 'tuned' differently, as you can tell.
