A lot has to do with either rolling downhill or climbing uphill.
This is with driver only in car.
Rolling down at 60kph , 6th is fine.
On a level road 70kph minimum for 6th.
The slightest hill climb will need downshift.
With a passenger and a load of luggage , add 10kph for 6th.
Try driving with the backseat down and you can hear if there is any lugging.
