Default New Owner Observations and Question

Okay, I've had my Mini S for a couple of weeks now so here are a few observations of mine.

1. 25mph signs on curves mean 50mph at least.
2. Headlights turn when the steering wheel turns. Way cool.
3. Comfortable to drive on 120 mile road trip.

Question:

If 65 mph is achievable in 2nd or 3rd gear, what are 4,5, and 6 for?

If ya can't tell, I'm having a ball in my Turbo Go-Kart. Most fun driving since my muscle cars back in the 70's.
