Favorite GA Airplane?

For all you airline/corporate/cargo/military guys out there( and really anyone on this forum), what is your favorite General Aviation airplane and why? Im mainly curious about singles, but if a twin is your fav then that's okay too!

That's awesome lol. Im only checked out in two planes and a 152 is one of them, the other is a 172. Obviously with such little to choose from i have little to compare it too, but i like it better than the 172, except when it's gusty cuz then it is a kite.

Navions.

Tough, solid, roomy, good STOL, and with a Rangemaster model or aux tanks on a canopy bird they go a loooonnnnggg way.

No metric fittings. No plastic. All American.

I've become very partial to the Cherokee series, particularly the simple basic Cherokee 140

A turbine powered Bonanza actually gets better performance than the Cessna, but is not pressurized. At the present time, my budget allows me to fly a kite, so THAT is my favorite aircraft.
