I vote 4 cylinder, but as my disclaimer, I've not much v6 experience. My 03 2.0t has 177.4 k and I have never had any major engine issues. I changed plugs around 160k (i know that is late but the car ran fine) and new water pump recently. Mechanic said all the chains and tensioner looked great too. I am currently battling an annoying emmisions sensor but I bet that is the same on either motor. The engine uses no oil and never runs hot too.
I get 35-37 mpg on interstate and 30 in the city but I have the older 't' model meaning I only pull 175 hp rather than the 210 on the 'T', but I've gotten the car up to 150 mph so I am happy with the power.
