It's nice to read the comments from owners who've exceeded 200,000 miles, but I'm not surprised to read about the long-term reliability of a Honda. My '86 CRX clocked over 300,000 miles and was still in good nick until a timing belt broke (long, aggravating story). The '90 CRX Si that replaced it was flawless for a little over 200,000 miles when I let a friend talk me out of it. My 94' Civic EX coupe also ticked past the 200,000 mile mark before I decided to stretch out a little and bought a '97 Cadillac STS (it was decent for the first 100,000, then it began to unravel). I had to contend with quite a bit of stop and go traffic (mostly in and around Atlanta, GA), but my clutches still lasted 150,000 miles. My wife had her '90 Accord SE for 17 years when she finally got 'tired of it' - was in great shape (and had been repainted). I wouldn't have given a second thought to driving that car from GA to CA when I handed the keys to someone who really needed a car, but had no money to spend on one. Aside from things that one expects to wear out (and are replaced before they fail), every Honda I've ever owned has been absolutely reliable.
I had a little over 60,000 miles on my '06 S2000 when I traded it toward an '08 S2000 CR which now has right at 26,000 on the odometer. It will take me quite a few years to rack up 200,000 miles. In fact, I may never join this club. I only work three days a week now and I'm not driving all over the state anymore. Besides, I have another vehicle which I drive when there's a chance of rain, or for other practical reasons. Other vehicles will come and go, but I'm keeping my CR and I expect that it will continue the trend of Honda reliability.
