It sure beats multiple pulls on the paddle to get into 3rd or so.
There is a faster way. Hold the (-) paddle and 'pedal to the metal' (push past the accelerator resistance point) at the same time - that will put you in the lowest gear possible. I like this way better, as I don't have to deal with switching to auto or back.
