Default F-Sport AWD - Transmission question...

I have had my awd f sport for almost 2 weeks now and am curious if the 6speed transmission has any sort of learning curve to my driving style or if that's only found in the 8 speed with the "G-Force AI"? I believe it has the ECT-i but in reality will this system actually learn my driving behavior?

I'm looking for just a little more willingness to downshift when the throttle is applied in the normal mode at slower/moderate speeds (say 20-40mph) mainly just to get a little quicker acceration in congested highway travel to keep up with moving traffic. I don't exactly need the sport mode in this setting just a faster downshift.

Not sure if the transmission learns, but if you're looking for a quick downshift, you can always use the paddles. They work outside of the M mode in the shift gate
