I have several but the main vehicle I drive is a 2004 Suburban and the only thing I wish it had is a handle on the drivers side at the top on the inside of the door like the passenger side has.
Third row seat for grandkids, AWD and traction control are nice. Very elegant looking inside. Total POS at 140k miles. Transmission issues, electrical issues on the control panel, motor burned out in one of the third row seats so now we only have one seat on the third row, etc. Never again. As soon as the house sells this thing is being traded in for something new.
2014 Taurus SHO:
Likes: Power, handling, low NVH, AWD, stealth factor, incredibly roomy and comfortable, giant trunk, massive performance gains for very little money
Dislikes: Outward visibility, people will always equate the Taurus badge with low-end rental cars
2011 Cadillac CTS-V
Likes: Power, handling. Old-school V8 rumble. Massive performance gains for very little money.
Dislikes: RWD+556hp demands constant diligence. This thing will bite ham-fisted drivers. Constant old-school V8 rumble.
2003 Dodge Dakota
Likes: Probably the least expensive way to get a pickup with full-time AWD, more nimble than expected
Dislikes: Low-rent interior, horrific fuel economy, terrible brakes even when new
1998 Ford E250 Extended high top cargo van
Likes: Absolutely perfect for its intended purpose. Easy to work on, parts are dirt cheap
Dislikes: Antiquated front suspension
1987 Dodge Ram 50 long bed
Likes: Tiny truck/big bed, easy to work on, bench seat, manual trans, surprisingly roomy cabin
Dislikes: Problematic electronic feedback carburetor, no A/C

My favorite and most driven is a 2013 Dodge Challenger. With 305 horsepower, it still gets 18/28 mpg, and is just great fun to drive. It's styling is very true to the 1970 predecessor. The only real negatives are visibility on the C pillar, and difficulty getting into the back seat (rarely used). I also have a 2007 Ranger 4x4. With the Destination AT tires I can go off road, but it's not real comfortable on a long drive. I mainly use it for hauling things and when it snows. Sometimes I will drive my wife's 2014 Escape 4WD. That little 1.6 turbo has more than enough power to pass and get up the hills, gets 22/20 mpg, is easy to park, and handles well on windy roads.

2014 Prius C
Like:
Excellent gas mileage
Enough cargo space to cram in just about anything I might reasonably want to cart around
Dislike:
Looks awful
Cheap, uncomfortable interior
Horrendous handling - my RWD Scion FR-S handled snow/ice/rain better. I consider it a success if the Prius manages to maintain traction on a flat, dry, clean surface.
Laughable performance
Enormous pillars that make it nearly impossible to see people standing at street corners
Smallish back seat
I love everything about it,and not one complaint.
Extremely comfortable with lots of leg room.
Rides incredibly smooth for a performance vehicle.
Gas mileage is right up there with some of the sub compacts.
Best vehicle I have ever owned, and I have had them all from cadillacs to falcons.
