I've daily driven mine ~40-50 miles for 2.5 years. Never have problems. For longer trips, I bring a small pillow for lumbar support.

I daily mine to work 5-6 days per week at about 50 miles round trip. Only real complaint I have is the lack of head support in the seats. Im 5'9", about 185lbs, and my head seems to just sit dead center in the opening in the back of the seat (so I would be looking straight up). Not really that big of an issue for just the work commute, but when on long road trips I do like to rest my head back. I usually wear a hoodie and bunch the hood up behind my head to fill the hole..

I've been driving mine to work in Irvine (65 miles one way) and have been averaging 27-28 MPG (stock with AEM CAI). I am quite pleased. The car is no less comfortable than my Prelude on Koni Yellows and Ground Controls. I am 6'1" and skinny.

45 miles round trip a day. I love it. I don't drive it in winter though so it gets a rest. Makes coming and leaving work that much more rewarding. I was getting between 27-29mpg which is perfectly fine with me. I do have coilovers but I know where every single bump is on the whole way by now and know to avoid them. 48k miles so far with 0 problems just regular maintenance. Hondas were made to be driven and are so reliable its so perfect.

8 miles to work, 8 miles back. Some back roads but mostly lousy commercial zone congestion with poor traffic patterns and too-quick green lights. I enjoy it much better when the weather is warmer.

7 miles of nothing but freeway interchanges. HW patrol is pretty rare because i never really stay on the freeway, just exit to exit to exit and i'm at work. no real traffic either because its not a common route. it makes for some fun, fast commutes. love it.

I get around 26MPG for my 60 mile round trip when I take the s to work. It's a little loud, the stock radio is terrible, but other than that it is a joy.
