2018 ILX Shifting seems odd

Hello. I'm a new Acura owner, 2018 ILX. I bought the car for my son. I've been driving it the last day or so and I have to say it's rather annoying. I live where there is a lot of traffic, stop signs and low speeds to deal with. When I'm going at very low speeds, the car wants to keep shifting gears, and it'll get to 4th gear before I can even hit 25mph. It's very odd and it seems very unusual that a car would do this. I had Acura look at it and their tech said this was normal and a way that Acura wants to deliver the best gas mileage. But holy cow, going less than 20mph and this car wants to keep shifting gears. It's so annoying that I really don't want to drive it anymore. If it were my personal car, I would drive it right into another dealer and get rid of it asap. Since this is my first Acura, I wanted to reach out to see if this is standard for this type of car with this small engine or if this is a sign of an issue. I just can't understand why it would be normal for any car to shift so frequently at very low speeds. I've never felt something like this in my over 35 years of driving. Would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
