Downshift from 5th to 3rd has a slower response time, however, because of the nature of 2 clutches.

People sure like to bitch about stuff that isn't all that valid. I would guess 2% of the Evo owners had problems and made 95% of the noise about it.
My break in period was 200 miles... got a 13.4 in the Qtr mile at 500miles....my first set of tires lasted under 5k miles (road course abuse)..... i had a hose pop off under the hood, and a 02 sensor fail.... my only mechanical problems in 2.5 years and 22k miles.....

NO!!! i really wish the Evo will be available in 6spd Manual only...none of that dsg/smg/auto-manual crap so the car can be more exclusive to pure enthusiasts....

Lice Locket, yup, you are right. But I figured the original poster just made a mistake. Why would he make a topic about double clutching? :LOL
VTEC_Junkie, it makes a difference. The downshift isn't as quick as it normally is. Going from 4th to 2nd takes longer than 4th to 3rd because 2nd isn't preselected as 3rd is. You can feel the time difference. But you are definitely correct about the sequential order.
Test drive a GTI and feel the sweet gearbox! Of course, I'd never own one because I love manuals, but it is very nice.
