With that said, I'm actually content with my value. 43k miles and worth just shy of $17k. On a two year old, "high mileage" $24k car (when new), that's pretty good in my book.

That's actually pretty bad. When my '00 Civic Si was stolen it was 3 years and 3 months old, had 67k miles and stickered for $18k. I got a little over $15k from the insurance company and that was after being rated in average condition since the car was torched, and had a very high mileage penalty.
By comparison, it held its value by more than 100% more than the numbers you've shown for your twin.
