3rd Generation Is it normal: steering is too sensitive?

I took my car for alignment several times already, but this time I took it to bridgestone place and have them professionaly aligned (they use computer and lots of stuff). But I still think my car still steer to the right... and of cource the road in my country is a bit curve. I think because of this, my car would steer to the right slightly. Is it normal? any body experience this? And if I try and another side of the road, it would steer to the left (the road is curve, left and right side is lower than the middle.) Please tell me something. I don't feel good with it.

Yea its normal for a "normal" road. It's the camber or as fredk saidm the crown that pulls a car left or right. Try to find a different stretch of road, and see how you go. Also, check tyre pressures.

That's what it's called, crown. Roads have it so water runs off the road.

also remember that bigger rims with wider and stiffer tires also "track" the road alot more than stock wheels

Yes, exactly how I feel after I change a wider rim and tire. So thank you all... after all, my car is ok.
