My fear was hearing “stay away, lots of issues”, from you guys who know the 6th gen well, but it sounds like the i4 is a good, fun car I can DD and take on trips.

The biggest killer of DI turbo cars is being in boost for long periods of time/low RPM. Namely, highway pulls and matting it in high gears are common killers. They're not perfect engines, but GM put them in all sorts of things, so parts are cheap and abundant in the case something does go wrong. As long as your not a dumb ass with it, there should be no problems well past 100k miles.
