Dropping down to 1st gear can only be done in manual mode using the tap shifts.

As a guy who has driven a stick since he was 16, I found the paddle shifters a bit annoying for that reason. Having to tap, tap, tap, tap, tap down to first from top gear was a chore, but I'm sure I would get used to it on the rare (or less frequent) occasions that I chose not to cruise in full auto. For that reason alone, I enjoyed driving the automatic in full auto on my test drive. Now, I would LOVE to dry a stick version
That said, Atlanta traffic has ruined manual transmissions for me :(
