Actually I've also driven a 2007 Civic a few times with the exact same behavior. If I've never had a car with proper electric steering (Mk.5 Golf GTI) I would have thought modern electric steering sucks big time! The electric steering on my BRZ is really good I rank it on par with the GTI.

Can't you change the castor by shifting the subframe? Check the subframe bolts are tight? Sorry I'm not too familiar with this car yet.
Just got it in to Toyota, but apparently the idiots that did the wheel alignment before stuffed the 0 point of the steering wheel. They need some sort of tool to identify the problem which they didnt have at the time. I will check in sometimes next week with them.

i really hope is something minor and not major, but by the sounds of it, it can be a number of other things.
