I don't know -- when I'm talking to people from the old city of Toronto area, I will be specific by neighbourhood. When I'm talking to people GTA-ish or from outside of Toronto I will say "downtown" to refer to the whole area of the old city of Toronto, because anything more specific doesn't register. When I lived at Dupont and Christie, and Dupont and Spadina I said "downtown". When I lived at Yonge and St. Clair I sometimes said downtown or mid-town. Now I'm east, still downtown.
Outside of Toronto, Toronto often means Etobicoke or even Thornhill to many people. So when you say "downtown" they know you live "in the city".
From the Mope&Wail article on Benn Kerr:
The name of an iconic Torontonian known best as a busker and mayoral candidate will live on in a downtown neighbourhood.
City council passed a motion this week to name a laneway near Danforth and Jones
Only to the Globe and Mail could Danforth and Jones = Downtown.
