Does anyone use 3rd gear going into turns intersections? I feel like 2nd gear should feel that way. Going into second seems quite like overkill in some turning situations.

I always use 2nd unless it's a larger sweeping turn. That said, there's no need for granny driving. All throttle control and driving smart.
Example:
Stop and go traffic, I never end up getting out of 1st or 2nd, but I also actually never stop. If I am stopped I let a sizable distance build up between me and the car ahead, so I'm always moving at a constant speed and never using my brakes. The commute time is always the same, but I don't need to be constantly on the brakes or gas.
Same with city driving, I just drive with the flow of traffic and rarely hit 50% throttle unless trying to merge.
