[Christ]

I coast in neutral often... any time I need to reduce speed, any time I'm coming to a complete stop, etc.

I never turn the engine off during this time though, as Cara wasn't designed for flat towing (that I know of... someone please correct me, I'd love to EOC).

When I do turn the engine off, is when I'm within neutral coasting distance of my parking spot (anywhere). When I'm within neutral coasting distance of a red light that:
1. I'm not the first one to get there AND/OR
2. I'll be there for more than a few seconds.

I can watch the opposing lights, when it turns yellow, I start the engine and put it back in gear, which, by the time my light is green, allows me to take off smoothly.

Any automatic, regardless of where the pump is, can be coasted in neutral with the engine on. EOC is only a problem if the pump is driven by the input shaft, as opposed to the output shaft.
