sounds like mine. 02 ex with 124,000 miles. only thing gone bad was the TPS which was my fault for driving in flooded streets. and then the fuel pump at 100k miles.

well i bought my 01 ex in june 05 with 68k miles.. now as it sits it has 145k miles ..

i have done all the scheduled maintenance an oil changes and all that good **** ..
replaced the alternator at 98k , and clutch at 105k.. thats it..

now i was given a 93 del sol last week ( yes for free.. the guy was deploying and didnt want it and he gave it to me for free.. )

its got all the records on it from 100k to current mileage of 180k .. and it runs just as strong as my 01 ex... the only draw back to the del sol is the paint needs work and 2 quarter sized rust spots on the rear 1/4's ..

but both my hondas run fine ... o ya the del sol ( a liltopic here ) has sparco race seats , oem cf hood , and 17 motegi mr7's in gunmetal ...

Bought my 01 in 03 with 60k on it. Since then I've changed the engine at 82k due to sucking water in the engine witch caused then conneting rod #1 to snap, changed front rotors due to warping them, and now the vic is in my garage with another major problem. It starts but thats about it. Can't rev over 2.5k rpms and foul plugs in under ten mins.

I DRIVE IT LIKE I STOLE IT!!!!!!

Oh yeah got 117k now.

70k and ran 474 on a single tank. The only thing I replace is the oil and oil filter every 5 or 6k because its all conventional or synthetic oil and filter. Replace the coolant at 40k though and thats about it, still running STRONG!

My 03 Ex Auto is currently at 129K. Bought new with 3 miles on the odometer. I drive about 100 miles a day. Maintenance for the most part was by the manual, not much extra maintenance. The only maintenance items that go beyond the manual's requirements are the use of synthetic oil and filter, and changing of tranny fluid every 30k instead of what the manual indicated, which I believe is 60k.

Few repairs needed. Below are details.

Oil change every 10k using Mobil 1 5w-20 with Mobile 1 Oil Filter
Timing belt at 110k (and also changed water pump, drive belts, oil seal, etc..)
Spark Plugs at 110k
Engine air and cabin air filters every 30k
Hawk brakes pads every 30-40k or so. Going on my 5th set shortly. Resurface brembo blanks.
On my 3rd set of tires currently- used Bridgestone Potenza 950 in the past -now running on Turanza LS-H.

Repairs
Front and rear engine mounts

I wish my car would break down so that I would have a valid excuse to buy a laser red g35 6mt or the new 328i coupe (drop dead gorgeous). But car's still running like new.

I have an 01 ex coupe i bought with 11 miles on it in May of 01. Now the tame beast has 100700 miles.

I have changed the o2 sensors and spark plugs at 95k, which greatly helped my gas mileage get back to 32/38. I have been through six sets of tires, and thats not because of doing burnouts.

The civic runs great, but i can't live with it much more. So proly in about three to four months max I will have an STi in my garage and i will settle for nothing less. Welcome to the 100K club folks!
