There are other AT-equipped vehicles that you can coast with the engine off without destroying the trans. The key words to look for in the owner's manual are "flat towing". If the car can safely be towed with all four wheels on the ground, then it is safe to coast with the engine off. If it cannot be towed with the drive wheels on the ground, you're taking chances if you do engine-off coasting.
