maxie, what air pressures do you run your tyres at?
Upping the pressures to a higher but still within tolerance level is a very simple way of making quite a difference to the steering feel.
at the moment there between the lower and higher recomended preasure 
i might increase them a little though.
how far above the recomended preasure could i go?
What's the max pressure for a fully loaded car?
I'd keep it well under that but you could go slightly above the half load figure.
Increase it 2psi front and 1psi rear then maybe that again if it doesn't start to feel a bit twitchy.
Bearing in mind the road surfaces aren't at their best right now it's not the ideal time to start exploring handling limits on the public roads with summer tyres fitted
