How do you Drive?
I figured I'd ask whether you drive with one or two hands on the wheel for casual driving, and in what formation? A lot of us probably arent used to wheels so small. Lets hear it!
I usually end up driving with one hand on top of the wheel. The front of the car moves around so much that I do find that two hands is much more effective to keep it perfectly straight.

I drive with one hand mostly. Right hand stays on the top of the wheel for moving straight or turning right, then I switch to my left hand to turn left. If I'm being more aggressive I'm definitely using both hands. It feels a lot better to drive it that way.

Usually one hand at 9 until it gets sore from the heavy steering, or both hands at 9 and 3 or 8 and 4 when I'm feeling lazy

Makes for quicker shifting though. And if you NEED to drive with both hands in order to control your car, either your car is too damn powerful or you suck at driving and don't need to be driving.
