Yes - a 2002 02 SE Sport bought by me in 2002 now done 70k. Longest time I've ever owned a car, and see no need to change it.
It sits outside by the kerb, and despite a brush with the girl who can't park from next door has done OK (why does she always drive in forwards then take a dozen tries to get the back in?)
Nearly always used with the rear seats down, with a carpet in the back cut to size.
Brought a three seater sofa back from Ikea in it. Transported a double bed and mattress in it - king size. Got a roll top bath in there, but 2 inches too long so needed a ratchet strap across the back.
Bought a set of MontBlanc roof bars which use the same clamps as many Focus/Astra/3-series of a similar age; looks good with a pair of mountain bikes on there.
Replaced front pads once
Replaced all four tyres once after a front/rear swap
Replaced wipers three times
Replaced floor mats twice
Replaced a wheel bearing outside of warranty
Replaced exhaust centre box (just this week)
Replaced rear side window
Replaced horn (failed first MOT - had never used it so didn't realise)
Added 3.5mm aux jack to CD/tuner
Corroded alloy wheels
Supermarket dings (the panels seem quite light)
Gets an interim service every year at a national independent for the underneath oily & dirty stuff; with filters and plugs etc done by me, the dry and cleanish stuff, it only goes to Honda for the switch recalls. Regularly vacuum out the cabin filter, seen no reason to change it.
The tyres were changed to Pirelli P6000, they seem a little softer ride than the Bridgestones - they don't look quite as square, cheaper as well, but 2 of the 4 always lose pressure meaning a top up every couple of months. Had one refitted with new valve, but no difference. Maybe they just don't sit well on the (original) alloys?
The mpg has improved slightly over the years, probably by 5mpg, and is much better in summer than winter.
I find these two sites handy

To Lunacide,
still havent got my abs light and handbrake light fixed, but im going to be booking in with Honda for it to be serviced and put on their diagnostics machines. (last resort unfortunately - even a code reader hasnt worked on it shown no faults)
...apart from replacing the wheel hubs brake pads and shoes.
Your ABS warning light may be the result of having the rear wheel bearing / hub replaced with a slightly wrong part. There is a collar around the hub which houses a magnet for those with ABS.
There are two Honda original versions of it available for the early models- one a bit cheaper than the other, but visually identical. Drum brakes with ABS / Drum brakes non ABS, not sure about discs.
I would of thought that would show up on the OBD2 code reader 'wheel speed sensor fault' though
