They don't retain their value well at all.
You say this... but I've encountered the opposite. I sold both of my old VWs for a good amount of money. They got full KBB valuations, and that was a lot more than similarly priced (when new) American/Korean models, slightly lower than Honda or Toyota. I had major issues with my insurance, actually - they wouldn't total my vehicle when it was in an accident because the KBB value was too high. So, they spent $9,000 on repair work for a 4 year old vehicle... that cost around $16,000 new.
