Sure, water ice and liquid water may have been confirmed on the surface of Mars. And microbial life has been resurrected from a million year old dirt nap on Earth. But given the distance from its parent star and the presence of an active hydrology of liquid methane and ethane, Titan might be the best place to find brand new kinds of life. Key question: Given our complete lack of understanding of such life, would we know it if we encountered it?
