The 86 is going to be my first manual car (been driving auto for years).

Just a question:
How do you guys slow down to a stop? Say you're going 70km/hr on the roads and the light ahead turns green, do you:

1. Put the car into neutral, and then stop using brakes like an auto.
2. Downshift, say from 5, to 4, to 3, to 2, to 1, then stop.
3. Say you're in 5th, just start braking till you reach really low speeds where you need to put the clutch in to prevent stalling, then when you're stopped switch to 1st, from 5th.

Is there anything wrong with doing option 3?
