Hi guys, I am new here and I would really appreciate the advice
I am looking for a used MX-5 and I have come across these two adverts.
Is there a big difference in the auto gearbox between these two models that I should go for the 1997 (british racing green) version? Things such as performance, comfort and road noise
The reason why I like the 1990 (white) model more is the colour, the beige leather trim and overall looks really nice inside compared to the 1997 one I am looking at. Both have similar kilometers around 120,000km. But the 1990 one i cheaper by $3,500.

1.6 motor in auto na6 is also detuned, so apart from having to contend with the auto transmission it has less power than 1.6 manual motor.
