It seems like you are prepared for a hard right.

depends, usually 9 and 2 when i am driving on a canyon road and just 9 when shifting, but when im driving around town, im usually just at 9 and my other hand is on the shifter unless im turning, than i go back to 9 and 2

probably the only one, but 7 and 5. im a lazy driver nowadays.

although, when im giving it hell, im at 9 and 4. dunno why...just feels more comfortable to me

What hand positions allow the use of the paddle shifters?

In Traffic - Left Hand: 6 Right Hand: Shifter

Daily driving - Left Hand: 11 with elbow on door panel (making a dent) Right hand: shifter

10 and 2 for sure

Left hand at 10, right hand at two. Wife's left hand on the other stick. There's a need for speed you know.

I paid more attention to this as I was driving last night.

For the most part, I'm 10-2, but my hands move all over the place. 9-3, 7:30-4:30...

I'm a mess lol

If she was doing it right, you wouldn't have to hold her head. Train her up cause safety first..

Sorry, I have a manual, so I can not. I was just curious where you could reach them from i.e. 8-10 on left and 2-4 on the right? Can they be reached from 1 or 5 O'clock? I assume 12 O'clock is out, but I do not know.

LOL was doing this too until I noticed the dent. Switched to L elbow on lap L hand at 7 for commuting. R. on shifter. Cracked a door panel with my elbow dent on the old vette and want to avoid that on this car. Window sil is a little high on this car and the door panel rest is a little far away to be real comfortable. Shoulders start hurting if I drive 12 for communting. Man I wish this car had a telescoping steering wheel!

For the curvies... 3/9 for sure.

I usually drive 9 and 2. But if my wife is with me, my left hand is at 9 and my right hand is squeezing her left C cup.
