This is not a correct statement! The 6th gen auto trannys are all a problem, for both 4 and 6 cylinder. The cars are great, except for the trannys.
Honda has extended the trans warranty on the 2000 and 2001 models to 100k miles, so if you are looking at 6th gens, I recommend you get the 2001 with average miles (50k or so) so you have the extra assurance. Also, if you buy from a dealer, try to get it certified so you have 100k protection all the way around.
As far as other problem areas:
1. The clock bulb seems to burn out every 3 years or so ($3 repair)
2. The factory CD player (not the 6-disc) may have trouble playing some CD-R's
3. The factory speakers are pathetic
That's about it for my complaints. I am very happy with my 2 2000's, even though 1 of them is on tranny #2 - free from Honda by the way...
