I have a 04 Solara V6 and the torque converter locks in 5th but only for mpg sake. Give it much gas and it will immediately de-couple. It could be much much smoother and is not sporty at all.
Depends which mode you have it in. D mode will make it work just like a regular automatic, so if you punch it it will drop down to a lower gear. If you're in M it will act like a manual, you have to manually select the gear.
