...engine OFF coasting is not a good idea (especially at high speeds) because the turbocharger (which is physically mounted *in* the exhaust manifold) is cooled (coolant) and oiled (oil) by the same coolant and oil that services the rest of the engine.
...if the engine's OFF, so are the cooling and oiling of the turbo, which is VERY co$tly to replace.
...yes, I have a Cruze 1.4LT, an LTZ model, not an Eco, however.
