The car is traction limited up to 3rd gear for sure, but after that you are sure glad you have the torque. On the highway I'm in 5th or higher (you wouldn't want to go screaming down the highway in 2nd gear at 7000 RPM!). Every ounce of engine torque is used when accelerating in 5th gear at normal highway speeds. So, sure, it has more torque than you need accelerating off the line and you have to modulate the accelerator, but that's true in every decent car.
