not specific to latio. when u set your car to N, first you are not saving fuel because you are not utilizing the fuel cut off feature. it is also not safe as you are depending on your brake solely for braking. since our brake work on a pump pulled by the engine, a slightly higher rpm also gives the pump more power to brake. try slamming that E brake while coasting in N at 50kph. u will know what I mean.
next if you switch from N back to D, there is a sudden surge in the torque you will surely damage your gears over time. the constant switching in and out of gear also wears out your torque converter lockup mechanism and your gearbox valves that switches the planetary gears. i'm not sure how much modern gearboxes have changed but i'm pretty sure it's still planetary gears for 4AT. CVT is a different story and I would tend to believe it's more fragile due to the steel belt design. of course if you are going to sell your car after 5 years, i believe most gearboxes will live by it.
