my integra is 14 years old and is still pretty fun to drive, clutch has survived 170K me beating on it fairly frequently, still shifts sweet and makes nice sounds when you go from 5 to 8 on the tach, though the suspension is getting plenty tired. Have toyed with the idea of putting a few grand into replacing that stuff, with a bit more progressive springs and adjustible dampers and turning it into a semi-track whore. It has been a pretty great car for me, and when I replaced the pretty much everything but the body of the distributor recently, it got me from 25 to 27 mpg around town. This economy is only possible if the car is driven with a bit of restraint, short shifting to stay off the cam.
