I like manuals because you can quickly and safely put it in neutral in well under a second at any time by just pushing in the clutch or quickly back into gear by releasing it. If you want to maximize coasting with minimum amount of drivetrain drag, this is it.

Maybe a brand new vehicle can be this quick shifting into neutral with paddle shifters, or CVT, I don't know I have never driven one.
