that's "grandma" mode.
to get to "grandson" mode, mash the pedal hard and release it quickly. it won't shift until absolutely necessary and won't upshift when you release.
when you start driving more "relaxed" it will go back.
as state said, otherwise use manual mode (i use manual most of the time)...
another thing i've learned (when in automatic mode) a quick tap of the pedal (or a complete mash to the floor) will downshift 1 gear, a quick double tap of the pedal will downshift 2 gears - say from 5 to 3, which it accomplishes quite quickly...
