How to keep 1st gear in auto/sports mode?

I have a 2012 and tried driving the paddle shift sports mode... I'll be at a stop and in first and lightly gas the car and it will automatically up shifts into second. Is there a way around the car up shifting for me?

from what i know.. the 12+ is a 6 speed a/t so i believe the gears shift earlier then a 09-11..

but then again, you should be able to ride your first gear in your auto for a good period of time before it shifts.. i know i can

WOT is the only way to keep it in first gear, and even then it will shift up anywhere from 5400-6200 rpm
