Mike Hawke, it surprises me that with your 03 problems you would buy an 06. What was up with your 03?

wierd, why do you have to hold the nozzle upside down.
Because it works. [8D]

Honestly, maybe it lets the tank vent more easily or something, I'm not sure. All I know is that it's the way to get a full tank of gas in one squeeze of the lever.

Same for me. If I don't hold the nozzle at the 3 o'clock position when filling, it would take about three days for a complete fill.

To the original poster, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend buying a new Mustang now, with one caution. It's the only new car for sale that is hard to get a good deal on from the dealer (GT's more than the V6's). Shop around.

You didn't say what year your GT vert is, but I have found my 2005 ragtop to be a better car than the Mustangs I have owned previously. First off, it is a beautiful car! Also, it has the type of quality that I would expect from a Ford. If I wanted a high-end European car, I would have bought one (actually, those who know me would die if they saw me driving a foreign car). Sorry, I'm straying a bit. The point is that you will enjoy a new GT 5-spd more than you can imagine, and it should be a reliable car as well.

Good luck!
