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.

I'll meet you halfway, which is what I think what others in this thread meant. It is not necessary to learn how to double-clutch but, especially with a brand new one of these transmissions, it really helps.
Not a dig - perhaps you've forgotten how tight it was when you first started driving it?
You must admit, first gear is tight as hell in this gearbox. I have nearly 7k on the ticker and I still double clutch into both second and first 100% of the time. To refer to it as an antiquated technique is doing an equal disservice to our younger drivers.
I have been driving for 40 years. I learned how to drive clutchless as a kid so I know exactly what you're talking about.
