Auto Tranny Performance - Not satisfied

Is it common for the MKIII non-turbo to run thru the gears so quickly? I notice it gets to overdrive before I even hit 40 mph. That is even with my tranny engaged in power mode.

I also noticed this car does not downshift to high RPMS for that extra boost. For example at 40 MPH when I hit the gas I would expect a down shift to 2nd gear, but that does not happen. Is that normal on a non-turbo MKIII.

The car could do so much more with performance.
