At 2000 RPM, the 6 has 9% more torque (225#ft vs 207#ft; at 3000-4000 RPM the 6 has 11% more torque (229 #ft vs 207 #ft); at 5000 RPM the 6 has 13% more torque (209 #ft vs 185 #ft). In California freeway churning I find the extra kick to be important. Steady state driving or around town, the 4 has good power and better mpg. It comes down to what you need. Either way, you cannot go wrong.
