My 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R entered DFCO when deceleration started in gear with the engine >2500 rpm. That was effectively >65 mph in 6th gear, making DFCO pretty useless on that car.

My 2006 Scion xB enters DFCO if the engine is running >1500 rpm when deceleration starts. That's ~35 mph, making DFCO much more available and usable with the Scion.

My wife's 2006 Hyundai Elantra lacks DFCO.
