I almost never downshift into 1 unless I'm coming to a complete stop. The most I've ever really done it is from about a 5mph slow roll around a corner (almost stop) because I want to blast down the next road in first :-D

The owner's manual says 15mph is the max limit for downshifting into first. I'm not sure what the limits are for the other gears, I'm still a bit new to driving this car (first car with a stick), but I would guess that the limit for 2nd is 40 or 50mph and 3rd is somewhere over 80.
