I find myself switching between 3-4 positions just about every time I hop in the Z.

1. There's the typical Vin Diesel grip. One handed at 12 o'clock.
2. Two handed at 9 and 3. 10 and 2 feels weird for me.
3. One handed understand grip for cruising at 7 o'clock.
4. One handed at the left pillar at 9 o'clock while resting my arm on the door sill. But this gets uncomfortable pretty fast since the door sill is so high up. And this is coming from a 6'2" guy that goes to the gym.

Coming from an Integra, I can't help but feel like the Z intentionally tries to keep you in battle mode, given that there's not too many positions you can have.
For comparison, the Integra windows were huge and, as a side effect, the door sills were low so you could rest your arm on it all way without tiring. Given, it was a econo sporty car back in its day, it seemed to have more in mind for driver comfort.
