I always down shifted through the gears with my manuals. You are going to go through a lot of brakes if you just push the clutch in and coast to a stop. Not to mention it's dangerous not to be in gear as you slow down. Now I've been driving a long time compared to a lot of you so maybe the kids now a days haven't been taught how to drive a manual properly
