The desire for a T5

Hello dear community, I recently sold my beloved V50 2.0D. With more of a crying eye than with a laughing eye. The model which is supposed to follow is actually already clear, again a V50. However with the T5 engine. The higher fuel consumption compared to my old one is rather unimportant, because the work path has been significantly shortened. In addition, I dream for a long time about the dying engine combination 2.5l 5cylinder turbo. But now to my questions: What about the AWD? Does this drivetrain cause more problems than the FWD? How solid and robust is it? -To this end, one has to say, I live in northern Germany. So no mountains and AWD not necessarily necessary, but possibly nice to have. Handswitch or automatic? Automatic takes a little bit of the sportiness, but at Stop and Go in the city perhaps more pleasant? Since also the question about the solid. Finally: I noticed that there are extremely few in DE and have therefore looked around me Europe-wide and e Is there any experience, speciality or simply whether a purchase from the Netherlands would be recommended or not? Thank you very much! Lg PS: the only alternative to the V50 would be the S40 II as T5
