Indeed. That's one of the greatest blessings of the SR20:aside from being durable and reliable, they are cheaper to replace than rebuild.
As for the blown engines, well, like it was said before, most of the time it's just neglect or abuse that pushed the engine over the edge. Normal driving(I define normal as not redlining it at every moment) shouldn't be too much of a burden.
What you do(or forget to do) at 50,000 miles will come back to haunt you later on down the road (75K, 100K, 150K; who knows?) So proper maintenance is a must from the very start.
An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, especially when it comes to cars.
