VOLVO c70 buy questions about the engine and transmission

Hello, the weather will be nice and how is it supposed to be different…. The desire for a convertible is growing. Now I have a few to choose from and ask myself, which is the better alternative?! To choose from is a c70 Bj. 2000 with 2.3 engine 239 hp and automatic. Or a 2.4T with 193 hp and hand switch. Question, is the difference from the engine so very noticeable? And what do you think of the automatic? Both cars have about 180,000 km down. Is the automatic with Volvo a good choice? r general information about you. Thank you very much, Christoph
