Default Turning

OKay, so I traded in my 2012 SG for an 18 SG.
I have always been more comfortable going into right turns then left turns.
Now I feel more comfortable in left turns because when I make right hand turns now, it feels like it wants to keep turning
and I have to hold it back. WTH is going on?

When I test rode an M8 SG I found it very top heavy, which made slow tight turns a little unnerving. Could it be that it's more top heavy than your 2016 SG?

I'll take a poke maybe your wheels are a little out of alignment and it's crabbing a little ?
