The way I do it, if I know I'm going to decelerate to a stop, is leave in 6th or 5th and use the brakes till near the moment of stopping before setting in N, if I don't feel like downshifting is necessary. I would still have some acceleration control if needed, but still less wear on clutch.

Again, how you drive is up to you. But at least know that your control is much more limited while in Neutral. You don't have to take my word for it. Pro drivers and trainers can give you the same info.

This is how I do it too, I'm a new MT driver with this car so I've been playing around with different ways and started with putting it in neutral early, figured it wasn't the safest thing to do so I'll either downshift (still practising) or leave it in gear until the last minute when I know for sure I'm coming to a stop.

Since I bought my Z and after 25k miles I have yet to shut off the S mode feature, I use it to downshift instead of braking...:driving:
