111,2xx miles.
Had to replace the VSA Modulator at 80,000 ($1,200) because it was pumping air into my brake lines. My transmission went out the first week of Jan this year ($4,600 with taxes after dealer gave me $500 off). When I got my window regulator replaced a month ago, I was told that I have a leaking oil pump ($1,200 to fix at Honda) and a leaking power steering pump ($300). The car has been solid from 300 miles to about 80,000 mi. I say that because my transmission went out 2 days after we bought it with probably 200 miles or so on it. I have a love hate relationship with this car, but I love it more than I hate it.

180k on my 05 (bought brand new). Currently in the shop getting front and side motor mounts, power steering pump, third and fourth gear pressure switches, driver's door window regulator and door lock actuator, and trunk springs fixed.

One on the right for me
Ran past 231k the other week. Mileage has slowed this year (which is nice). No other issues have come up. Still happy I'm on the original clutch.

97k on a '06 TL Auto. Only Tires (need to get 2nd set shortly), oil, and just did my 105k service (timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt) since the oil pan treads were stripped (replaced pan). Runs great as my daily driver...

Just picked up my WDP '07 with 86k miles. I went ahead and did a trans drain and refill then did rear pads since they were squeaking a bit. Otherwise, the car is running very well and the transmission seems very strong. I've heard that in '07 they updated the transmission to make it stronger of sorts; any truth in that?

I've got one (2G) at 100,xxx and one (3G) at 53,xxx.
Both engines run like a top. Some minor cosmetic stuff on both.
The '02 (which is now 9 1/2 years old) has a seat motor (seat back tilt) that failed and hasn't been repaired. Yet. The trans failed and was replaced under recall a couple years ago; also replaced motor mounts, brakes, battery and, recently, front shocks. Prior to that, only a bulb in the dash/radio failed.

Now at ~80,000; just a little over 7 years old.
Had a minor issue with a belt tensioner that needed to be replaced. Also just completed the Timing Belt replacement, including water pump.
Other than that the only real issue I've had is with the OE batteries .... I'm on #3 (or 4?). They keep going out about every 2 years and I keep getting free replacements.
No issues with any of the aftermarket bolt-ons either (ALTP J-Pipe, CAI, LED's, H&R Springs, etc.).
The '02 still runs great, but cosmetically it's a mess ....
