My most fun to drive was a 1975 280Z, silver. I bought it new and drove it for 10 years. I reluctantly parted with it when we had our first son.
My wife had an early Honda CRV. The cover for the back deck could be taken out and folded into a small table for car camping and picnics.
Follow Ups:
Especially with a manual transmission.
They've gotten uglier and uglier over the years and of course, the uglier they get them more they sell.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
My wife had a Camry. She wanted something with more ground clearance for driving through our occasionally flooded streets. The trigger was spending two hours in a parking lot waiting for the water to recede trying to get home from work. I didn't have any appreciation for the CRVs looks. She thought the CRV was cute. I have always let her drive whatever she wanted. Most cars are ugly. The CRV was a good practical vehicle, and served us well. We gave it to our youngest son with 40 K miles on it in great shape. Six months later he totaled it. Vehicles come and go.
" The cover for the back deck could be taken out and folded into a small table for car camping and picnics."To this day Honda is very creative at maximizing space and utility. The Ridgeline truck has a trunk under the bed as does my Passport SUV.
The trunk space in the Passport allows me to store tools, air compressor, flash lights, emergency battery booster, folding shovel and traction ramps for getting unstuck in the snow, quart of oil, emergency food and water, blanket.... and it stores the spare tire and jack, all under the load floor w/o taking up any space in that are. But no picnic table ;-)

I have a Ridgeline truck with the trunk under the bed. It will hold a good amount of stuff. Of course the spare and tire tools are in there, but those are arranged on a tray which slides forward and out of the way. I keep jumper cables, an air compressor, tire repair kit, gloves, flashlight and a couple of clean rags in mine, but there is room for much more. On one trip, I managed to get luggage for three in there. It's water tight and it locks and unlocks along with the doors. It is also a good place to store secret stuff temporarily like Christmas presents. No one expects there to even be anything under the bed.
