Something that is never done anymore is over engineering, over building, many of these engines were made a lot stronger and tougher than they need to be , just for quality purpose

Now everything is pushed to limit as much as possible, thinner , cheaper, to keep profits high, it doesn't need to last forever

2nd hand conti cars are usually bad investments, and Audi's service is notoriously bad (now has improved abit) after warranty make sure you find a good mechanic that can service it. My 5 yr old q5 is still ok but the first two yrs was a nightmare when it was eating up engine old for no reason, had to overhaul and it took Audi glenmarie 3 months+ to get it fixed, they even refuse to acknowledge the problem initially.
