What's great about some cars is the transmission is programmed to go into a pseudo-neutral coast just by lifting off the gas pedal. A lot of GM models do this that I know of. On the other hand, Honda's programming puts it into pretty harsh engine braking and DFCO every time you lift off the gas. I'm fighting that programming whenever I drive it, so DFCO is kind of my enemy.
