Shopping for a comfy soft top 4 seat convertible with a stick. Opinions?

The white one is a base model 5.0 with the following options... 10 speed automatic, Mach wheels, rear spoiler, rubber floor mats and a block heater... picked it up in September and my wife drove it all winter. She says that she likes the 2017 better especially the 6 speed automatic vs the 10 speed automatic... she feels the 10 speed is always hunting for gears to much... she also claims that you have to push the throttle a lot further on the 2019 to get the car moving so either the engine makes less bottom end at the drive by wire tuning is not great.
None of that matters if you buy a stick...
