i hold mine at about 9:30 and 2:30...with the bottom of my pinkies against the top of the spokes....that feels the best to me...it may be closer to 9:15 and 2:45.... ...then again it may be the 10 and 2 that everyone is talking about...i tried the 9 and 3 but that felt really awkward.....maybe if the steering wheel was smaller that would be ok for me but it felt like i had less control of the wheel.....also i probably sit closer to the wheel than most since my legs are short....lol...maybe this is the reason i like 10 and 2

I place my hands at 9 and 3 with my thumbs over the spokes. This way I can go from lock to opposite lock without moving my hands on the wheel.
FYI, the manual states that resting your hand on the shifter will wear out the linkages.
