The only ones I’ve driven will not shift when you kick the gas pedal down, precisely to let you accelerate faster.

Like for example when you need to accelerate quickly to get around/avoid something. Most automatics I’ve driven will often shift into second too soon and absolutely refuse to drop back down to first gear—no matter how hard you stomp the acceleration pedal—even if there’s still plenty of room left in the rev range.

You can usually change the driving mode from eco over comfort to sport. They all behave differently. And the there’s the kick down, that’ll definitely shift down unless the revs would be too high.
I love driving manual, have done it since I was 18. But automatic transmissions nowadays are really good.
