Only when I need to accelerate very quickly coming from a roll, do I downshift to 1st.

And yours was?

OP, I have been driving stick since I was 7 and I learned in a 90s turbocharged sedan. Hell, I can drive my bud's 13 STI like no tomorrow, and shift it like its a CVT. Our clutch is heavier, and has a much quicker engagement which makes it so abrupt (in comparison to an STI, or a Versa). I myself have fun when driving with slippers, since the bottom of my left one keeps getting caught on the mat and causes me to over rev sometimes lol. That's the fun of the car
