Only time you would need to downshift is if you are driving in the mountains and going up a steep hill. Say that you are going up a hill and you hit the accelerator and it feels like your not moving and it wont downshift on its own and you don't wanna peg the gas too the floor. Then you would downshift to 3rd to keep the RPM's high so you got quick acceleration up a hill and you dont have to worry about the car switching back and forth from OD to 3rd.
