I haven't tested to see if my GT will do this yet, but I have a question for you folks this has happened to - when the engine stops, does it result in all the idiot lights coming on? If so then it would lead you to believe the computer wasn't expecting the engine to shut down, and there's a problem. A "programmed shutdown" should be a bit more graceful than that.
Do you both have the 5-speed?
Finally, on leaving the engine on before turning it off, does it say to do that in the manual (I'll be looking myself when I get a chance)? I know I haven't been leaving it to idle before shutdown and I'm betting most other Turbo owners don't either.
