Its very manageable. You can stay in second and step out a little in a corner or stay in second past fifty and red line and chirp 3rd.

So yes, sure, there are totally going to be roads where you would drive in third gear all the way.

If you are in twisty spots where you don't want to get sideways, such as the side of a mountain, it makes sense to stay in higher, less torquey gears.

Edit: I would personally not limit drive on the side of a mountain, but I'm not here to judge lol.
