My humble opinion...

is that the V6 is as good, or better than the I4 long term IF the timing belt and tensioner are looked after. With the new tensioner and pulleys and belt, you can expect 60K trouble-free between changes provided that the mechanic is careful with the gasket on the timing cover (or replaces the cover with the new one-piece design) and replaces the cam seals. It's certainly more fun to drive and plenty economical. You can probably beat down the price, too, given the terrible reputation they developed before they came up with a durable tensioner. To be fair, though, the lions share of the sludging problems in the I4 are due to lack of maintenance.
Others will disagree, I'm sure.
