I have the same bike in black. It does everything I ask it to do. I love it.

... I'll stay w/ my 2013 Domane 5.2 3X10 @16 lbs 4oz ... they ruined that bike w/ a compact double, electronic shifting, and heavy disc brakes ... and the front fork is too straight and creates a very harsh ride ...it is a perfect example of the exact wrong direction TREK is going in .... tho I do like the color ....

It’s not fair to compare 11 year old technology to today’s road bike standards. The straighter fork rake offers faster and more responsive steering while the ISO speed dampening built into the newer fork provides smoother dampening and vibration reduction. The more aero shaped wheels & aero frame tubing along with advanced endurance geometry frame carbon layup compensates for any additional weight. Disc brakes provide much better stoping power and safety in wet weather and downhill descending. Electronic shifting is nearly flawless and almost never goes out of tune and the battery lasts for about of month of riding without needing a charge. Trek spends millions on R&D so comparing a 2013 Domane vs and a new generation version is like comparing an iPhone 1 to an iPhone 15 Pro.

Yes, I bought last year a lightly used Domane 4.3 for a fraction of a new model. The better fork is also lighter made because with diskbrakes you can not have such a design. Note that the forewheel is slightly set back for normal steering. Compared to my Cube and Specialized bikes it steers normal. The geometry of the Domane fits riders with relative long legs better. I still ride with 2 inches saddle to steerer drop. The bikeweight is relative hefty but the carbon layup is conservative. The bike will not hold you back if you are not a pro. I know riders who spend thousands every few years on bikes. I see that as insecurity, status and lack of knowledge.
