 Third, TARDISes 

TARDISes are bigger on the inside through dimensional engineering (see: entire show).

TARDISes move through the Time Vortex (see: entire show).

When landing, they rip open the very fabric of space/time, altering quantum structures (The Pirate Planet).

TARDISes are eleven dimensional matrix intelligences (Doctor's Wife).

They are powered by the Eye of Harmony on Gallifrey, though later in the show the Doctor had the/an Eye in his TARDIS. EU stuff shows that TARDISes eventually got copies of the Eye, so his isn't the original. Which fits with the show (TV Movie, Time Crash, Hide, Journey to the Center of the TARDIS).

TARDISes have complete control of their interior dimensions and the flow of time within them (Journey to the Center of the TARDIS, The Doctor's Wife, etc.).

TARDISes can time loop their interiors to protect things (Big Bang Two) Can control gravity in the internal dimensions as well (The Doctor's Wife).

Can create rooms (The Doctor's Wife).

Can burn up interior dimensions for extra power (The Doctor's Wife, Castrovalva).

Can resize people by materializing at different sizes (Let's Kill Hitler).

Loops interior dimensions to trap people (Journey to the Center of the TARDIS).

Can put people in different flows of time so they don't interact (Journey of the Center of the TARDIS).

Can freeze locations, such as the engine, in time (Journey to the Center of the TARDIS).

Telepathic circuits can be used to alter people's perceptions and to suppress thoughts and ideas (Mask of the Mandrogora).

Tractor Beams/Anti-gravity beam devices.

Can tow planets across the universe (Journey's End).

Can slow down a Neutron Star that was launched as a projectile (Creature from the Pit).

Can decrease the gravity around an object by using the TARDIS's own connection to the Vortex to mess with gravity (Delta and Bannermen) Can comfortably sit within Supernovas (Doomsday/Runaway Bride). Now, while the Doctor had both his TARDIS's shields and the Tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator, there's not a reason to doubt that Time Lord shields are better than a random alien's device.

Shield can also be extended to protect people in the Vortex (Time of the Doctor).

The door shields are separate and can be extended like so (Horns of the Nimon).

TARDISes can burn up stars to generate extra power (Doomsday/Runaway Bride).

They can run on background artron radiation, if there is a low supply within them (Boom Town).

Possess HADS: Hostile Action Displacement System, which will teleport the TARDIS a short distance away in case of possible danger (Cold War, The Krotons).

Possess transmats, which can be used for casual short hops, and most likely long distances due to the Time Lords ability to reroute transmat beams (Genesis of the Daleks, Time of the Doctor).

Chameleon Circuits allow a TARDIS to look like basically anything, even mobile robots (Keepers of Traken, Time Monster, Attack of the Cybermen, etc.)

TARDISes can lock themselves into the flow of space-time, becoming immune to teleportation and dematerialization (Invasion of Time).

TARDIS shells can heal damage quickly (Robots of Sherwood).

The shell can also reform if breached (Voyage of the Damned).

TARDISes can shatter their outer shell to appear to be destroyed, but still keep shields and such active in the area the shell would have inhabited (The Witch's Familiar).

TARDISes can produce barriers that block and forcibly expel beings of other dimensional natures (Flatline).

A functioning TARDIS has a Temporal Grace ability that means you cannot get hurt within it (The Hand of Fear).

TARDISes can do planet wide scans (God Complex).

TARDIS can mess with the weather to create snow (Runaway Bride).

The TARDIS can control the wind and make clouds super dense (The Snowman).

TARDISes can hide by going into emergency power mode (Family of Blood).

TARDISes can be used to allow one to alter time dramatically, avoiding the side effects of paradoxes (Last of the Time Lords/Sound of Drums) Sontaran Scanners don't work on TARDISes (Poisoned Sky).

TARDISes can break into pockets of time if they can get a signal connection (The Stolen Earth).

TARDISes can park themselves out of sync with time, always existing slightly in the future (End of Time).

They can land silently and invisibly in Stealth Mode (The Impossible Astronaut).

TARDIS energy can stabilize unstable genetics (The Almost People) TARDISes can generate stairs that are taller on the inside (The Snowman).

TARDISes can create any mechanical or physical item the operator needs, as long as it can figure out how to arrange matter to make the item [Architectural Configuration System] (Journey to the Center of the TARDIS).

TARDISes can ignore the effects of gravity (Satan Pit).

TARDISes can change their relative gravity (Flatline).

TARDISes can use an individual's time line information to travel along their time line (Listen, Dark Water).

TARDISes can close down windows in time (The Girl in the Fireplace).

TARDISes can scan and located dimensional incursions (Army of Ghosts).

TARDISes can signal owners if there are teleport breaches (Silence in the Library).
