The Jeep Cherokee and Dodge Dart have hidden seat compartments like that. The idea is if you're having to leave valuables in your vehicle (at the beach by yourself and want to go swimming, for example), rather then leaving them in the glove box, which is the first place a thief will look, you put them in the hidden compartment, taking care to push the pull tab down into the seat so it isn't visible. It'll only work for a casual thief, though, as an experienced thief will know about these compartments.
Pre-facelift (at least) Micras in Australia have that compartment under the seat, seen at the bottom of this page. I think I've seen that some other regions do too.
In addition to hiding stuff, I would totally use it open like that site suggests, as a place to hold a bag while driving alone.

Good idea on using it as a holder when driving alone. I can't tell you how many times I've thrown my cell phone on the seat next to me and have it slide off the seat when I'm taking a tight turn.
A Holy Sh*t handle on the drivers side. I used to hold on to it on my previous car while driving as it was comfortable for me. I don't know why.. it just was. The passenger has one, why can't I?
I would like to see an outside temperature gauge and a sixth gear in the manual please. A sunroof would be nice and a 3 door (2 door plus hatch) would be awesome!

I find with the vent under the seats, we do get a bit of a heated/cooled seat effect. More the heat in winter as heat rises. Clothes hooks seem to be disappearing in many cars, I hook my clothes on the rear seat headrests and let my clothes lie flat on the seat back.

I run a base model and to keep the price down...
- More storage, cubbies whatever
- A rear clothes hook (behind driver)
- Vanity mirror passenger side
- Pie in the sky but seats the fold flat or flatter
- More dreaming.... a sixth gear
At this price point and 5.6l mileage, I don't think it gets much better.
