New Z owner and had the same question. I always coasted downhill with my automatic Civic and after 16 years no transmission problems (that I know of).

But my Z really slows down when off the gas, even downhill. The Z also has stickier tires. I'll try paddle shifting to a different (higher?) gear.

The 2015 owners manual P 5-13 says "Caution: Coasting with the transmission in the neutral position may cause serious damage to the transmission".
