I kindly suggest you take the car to a track, have an instructor ride along with you and see what feedback they have for you. What you're describing could be 100% driver induced regardless of setup.

No offense, but mountain/canyon roads don't do a good job of teaching the fundamentals like line theory (you are compromised because you can't cross a double yellow), traction circle, and weight transfer.

Also, attempting to judge the car's handling behavior with traction control on can be very misleading. The system is very intrusive and will not let you learn how the car is really behaving. If you actually don't feel comfortable turning off traction control, you need more experience and the track is the best place to get that.

Or go to an auto-x.

Auto x is a great place to learn the cars limits at a relatively slow speed. I learned more about the limits of this car doing a few laps around the auto x course than driving a back roads. Once you learn the characteristics of the car, you can adjust your suspension and alignment settings to suit your driving needs.

You can also check out your local auto club, they might host a lapping day which are usually pretty affordable.
