(MT question) Who honestly uses 1st gear besides on a hill?

I think like 10 minutes after I started this thread I used first gear around the hood here. Im good with using it as a regular practice.

Also, few things that confirmed these driving methods were the convos with the service managers, and master techinicians about this at a few of my clients sites ( about 6 nissan dealerships in the phillly market that i cover ). They all admitted that pertaining to the manual trans in the 370z and the 07/08 350z they would driving it around using 2nd gear and only 1st on hills or just using the clutch only with no throttle while in traffic in 1st.

All the vehicles I had before I used first gear no matter what. Cause that is how I was taught.

And if something breaks, that's on me.
