Is My 2011 SEAT somewhat Unique? Curious About Your Thoughts!

Hi everyone,
I’ve been driving my 2011 SEAT Ibiza for a while now, and I’ve started to wonder if it’s a bit unique compared to others out there. It’s got some interesting features, and I haven't come across another one with the same setup in my city or even my country. Here’s what it has:
  • Heated seats
  • ESP that can be turned off
  • Rear window heating
  • Foldable mirrors
  • Bluetooth module
  • Sunroof (Webasto)
  • A hidden compartment inside the passenger seat
  • Standard rain sensors
  • Digital climate control
The thing that makes me hesitant to ask this question is that it has a 1.2 engine, which feels unusual for a car with these options. I’ve never seen another SEAT with the passenger seat compartment feature or this exact combination of options.

I feel a bit silly asking, but I’m genuinely curious—have any of you seen a similar setup before? Is my SEAT something out of the ordinary, or is this configuration more common than I realize?

Looking forward to your insights and feedback!

Thanks in advance!

You‘ve not said what the trim level of your car is (e.g. E, S Copa, SE Copa, FR etc.); in the UK, depending on the trim level of the car, most of the items you’ve listed were either part of the standard spec or available as an extra cost option - see pages 38 and 39 of the 2011 (2012 model year) brochure for the UK spec Ibiza model range at the link below. Don’t know if Webatso manufactured factory sunroofs for Seat - if not, then depending on the type of sunroof your car has, a previous owner of your car might have had it fitted aftermarket - Webatso used to be a major manufacturer of aftermarket-fit sunroofs.

Its Ecomotive with auto/start stop system (1.2L TDI) which is weird. Car was imported from Switzerland 5 years ago.
I also assumed that it is aftermarket upgrade (the sunroof), but passenger seat with hidden compartment is new thing IMO, it’s got leather, profiled seats—super comfy and great for holding you in place, I went with this car on longer trips it's unbelivable how it fits I don't feel any discomfort after 2+ hours of driving.

Also, what's weird for this car is that both of my friends have Škoda with 1.6 engines, and I can outpace them without much effort. Even my friend with Audi Q6 2.0L was surprised that I can easily follow him up (of course he's faster with this engine, but still...)

I haven't done any remapping of ECU or changing intake... Everything regarding to that is stock, except DPF and EGR off...
