But i've also had a lot od experience with driving and working on the 2000 Camry I4 at work and that experience was very favorable too. So when buying, i could have gone either way but the used Altimas were just too expensive even with a 4 cylinder.

And i got me the V6 Camry and i dont regret it, not for a second. Power is great, smoothness is great, it never feels as if it were struggling the way almost every 4 cylinder car does much of the time. Quiet and quick when you need it.
Mileage, the major issue with most people - i get 25 to 27 mpg. And this is in L.A. traffic mind you, which is literally the worst in the world. Meaning much of the time stop and go. So to me, the mileage penalty with the V6 is acceptable for the other good stuff you get.
Agree: well worth the money. When you need the power it is fantastic! My 65/70 mph mileage is 31 to 33 mpg. Overall it is about 28 mpg since I got the car.

If you can afford the V6 get it. Although the i4 is enough for most people.

If you have deep pockets with lotsa money go for the V6. if you have shallow pockets with little money go for the I4.
