Hi Sergey
I only mentioned our S5 as it’s mechanically identical to the S4. Ainars is right that facelifted models (rectangular front fogs replace round) are better on fuel due to gearing and a different supercharger - plus they have stop-start. One with small wheels rides perfectly well
All modern autos are designed to get into a high gear ASAP for CO2 reasons, which means driven gently they are all pretty much seamless when changing gear. Autos also work better with all the modern driver assist gubbins
As you know the d2 was built to last - anything modern i’d consider 10 years about the maximum you’d want to own one. Modern paint is pretty poor for a start even before you look at mechanicals
If you’ve not driven anything recent I’d definitely recommend trying some options before firming up your requirements. The offer to try the S5 for the driving experience is a genuine one if you wanted to. Think you’d be surprised by how refined it is
