My bro's VW Tiguan only lost about 2-3k in 3 years which as a % is tiny and was wondering what other cars depreciate so little percentage wise?
I know theres the usual small hatches that are cheap to buy and don't loose money, but surely the Tiguan is better if you look at it as a percentage?

M3 depreciated 1500 in 18 months.
RS depreciated around the same in 12 months by look of things.
Not bad considering!
