Not joking in the least. Which part are you confused about?

I am taking this point because this is a thread about someone who wonders if they can learn to drive stick in a twin.
There is absolutely zero reason to confuse the subject by talking about a useless and antiquated technique such as double clutch shifting a syncho transmission.

That would be like telling the guy he better be able to heel toe shifting by the time he gets the car home.

I have taught two of my teenage children to drive stick in this car.
I never mention double clutching or heel toe and they both drive it just fine not knowing about such a thing.
The first of my three granddaughters is next.

I DID however demonstrate clutchless shifting so that they understood where proper shift points are.

My wife's passat is much harder to learn stick in than the BRZ.
