I love it, such an upgrade from the Integra.

M52s are pretty reliable motors if they are maintained well, Charlie's still ran strong when he sold it (unfortunately the auto tranny didn't want to last), and he had 212k on it.

are they known to be reliable with miles like that?

if maintained well, yeah. i know a few with over 200k that run great.

171 is not bad at all.

Manual, not sure by what you mean heater/climate control? It has climate control, but I thought they all did standard.
