That's a hella lot more miles than I have on my 09 Fit. I just went over 30,000 a few weeks back.

I had a 2002 Civic coupe with 217,000mi on it before I got the Fit. The only repairs I had to have were replace the ECM module (a common repair apparently) and had to replace the top dead center sensor on the engine and the main radiator cooling fan at the same time. The car never left me stranded, although when the cooling fan and sensor went out I thought it was going to. I just had to let it cool off and then drove it 200 miles on the interstate before putting it in the shop the next day.

Even at 217,000mi I wouldn't have hesitated to jump in the Civic and drive across the country. I just hope I can get that kind of reliability out of my 2012 Fit.
