Can be misleading... as I recall Joe (the number one car on the list) had a spun main bearing at about 75K and replaced the engine.

good luck with your purchase. Just make sure you test drive one (AP1 if you are planning on getting AP1, AP2 if you plan on getting AP2). It is a high reving engine and some people don't take well to it, others (like me) love it.
Just keep it over 3,000rpm and you'll love it...

I've got about 128k on my '01. Runs, drives, and handles better than any car I've owned. I bought it with kinda high miles, but I wasn't worried...I've owned civics and preludes all my life.

I don't know how some of you guys keep the miles off.

By the way, I just listed mine in the for sale forum...

I would have to say the 2.2 is a bit more reliable.

No oil consumption issues
No broken/cracked valve retainers (beeifer valvetrain)
stronger rear diff
revised tranny

on my 2.2 my oil is bearly even dirty @ 4k mile oil changes interval.
