Your gas mileage numbers are almost identical to mine -- same engine. My departed '91 and my current '97 qualify with your description -- NO issues.
I didn't/don't pamper my EX. It gets regular maintenance - nothing special. They just keep on going. The integrity of the handling and the ride on my '91 barely changed over 13 years.
The '91 was a 5-speed stick which added 1-2 more mpg. Remarkably, I never had to replace the clutch in 235,000 miles of driving, although it was getting close when the flatbed arrived to take it to the junk yard after 13 years.
To be sure, I had CV joints replaced a couple of times and the timing belt replaced at about 150,000 miles (MTBF was indicated to be 90,000). The muffler shop got tired of seeing me, although they did make some money replacing exhaust pipes a few times. Brakes lasted a long time with the 5-speed. But all that is expected wear and tear.
I get skeptical looks when I tell this story, but there's a "Hall of Fame" board at the local Honda dealership with many cars lasting many more miles than mine.
We have two grown kids and the only cars they've owned have been Hondas.
They are truly amazing.
