from your experience and what you, who makes the best automatic transmissions?

Im looking to buy an automatic car, cause we have a 98 accord and the automatic transmission on all 98-02 all suck, the 94-97 were okay, but i would like an automatic tranny that you can change the filter without taking the trany apart (usually american cars,) if this means i have to buy an american car then i guess american it will be, i know some chevys and ford have some tough automatic transmissions

thank you for your input
