The only circumstance where it won't follow through on the downshifts you tapped in is if it would result in an over rev.
And... there is control over first gear the same as any other gear. Again you can't downshift to first if it will result in an over rev. That's a good thing.

I said I wanted to tap a second time instinctively because it took so long in manual mode w/o sport mode engaged. It's like the elevator door effect when u press the button and nothing happens. Same for second gear to first, it's much less aggressive, wouldn't blip the throttle and only down shifted to first at a near stop unlike when sport mode was engaged on the tranny and responded like it should from 2nd to 1st at the proper speed rather than being sisified. You can tap the paddle 3 or 4 times in sissy mode and second wont drop to first at the same speed it will in sport mode.
If people are shifting their Autos in manual mode w/o sport mode engaged on the tranny, you are really missing out big time. Might as well just leave it in drive.
