DH's 05 civic is near 300k. It did very few of those miles in the first 2.5 years of its life. It still has the original clutch. Other than maintain/tires/battery (it was due by time) it has had two deer run ins and been hit by a weak tornado that went through the parking lot at work- the inside got a bit wet thought the electrical system was screwed - but once it dried it was fine. He has no plans to trade it in anytime soon.
I picked up a copy of Consumer Reports recently and they had a list of cars that are most likely to hit 200K miles. They were all Toyotas and Hondas, and I think the #1 or #2 was the Honda Odyssey -- which means I could drive my mini-van for a long, loooooong time.
