There are plenty of good reasons to want a super-secret storage space in your vehicle. From keeping important items out of the hands of people who might happen to break into the vehicle to simply knowing that you always have an extra place to store seldomly used items, secret compartments are far more popular than you might realize. With that in mind, we’re wondering which one of those compartments is the most impressive or useful.
We’re not just talking about somewhat unusual storage areas. For instance, some cars have false floors in the center console. Others, like the MINI Cooper Countryman, have panels in the rear that look like vents but those can also be used for discreet storage. No, we want stuff that’s downright bizarre.
Perhaps one of the most well-known yet relatively ‘secret’ compartments ever found on a modern automobile is found in each door of the Porsche Carrera GT. There, you’ll find little doors that pop open to reveal quite a deep cavern where Porsche intended its owners to keep whatever they wished.

There are a number of Cadillac models that have a very unique and sneaky storage space behind the climate controls of their center console stack. Instead of a fixed panel, it actually swings up to reveal a storage area along with a USB charging port in case you need to keep something powered inside of the cubby hole.
Then there’s the Honda S2000 with its extra storage area between the occupant’s heads. While most people know that the little Honda sports car has a space for storage between the seats, very few realize that just above it is another area that can only be accessed once the first door is open. Then, it not only moves the rear glass out of the way but provides access to a pair of storage spaces.
Still, we get the feeling that you might have a number of excellent hidden compartments that we don’t even know about. Let us know in the comments below!
