My dad has the 2009 V6 and I have the 2010 4-cylinder.
The V6 is substantially faster; it's not close at all: you'll accelerate & pass other cars with considerably less effort. 30% more horsepower is 30% more horsepower.
With careful driving, I do fine in snow/rain in either the V6 or the 4-cylinder. You don't need the V6, but my dad will activate the AWD on his V6 if there's ice on the road (but not snow). He's pretty solid driver, though.
MPG is completely dependent on driving style: on my 4-cylinder, I can get over 35 MPG @ cruise control going 55 MPH on rural roads.

Ive got a V6. My daily trip is 20 miles round trip with about 16 of that being freeway at ~70mph.
My running average over close to 10,000 miles (from dealer new) is just over 20mpg. Worth noting that I also use mid grade fuel about 4 out of 5 times i fill up.
