Default 6th gen accord auto tans problems

I have been doing research on the 6th gen accord and found alot of people saying the auto trans on the f23 is crap. I was wondering if the auto trans on the v6 or the manual on the f23 is better?

V6 trans is WORSE and you can't go wrong with a manual

What is the percentage of failure rate of the trans or is this unavoidable?
