I have long considered mild hybrids to be made of unicorn poop.
They cost far more than their non hybrid counter parts, their milage usually can always be matched by a non hybrid. Then to top if off you have all that hybrid stuff that is going to break some day and need to be repaired.
The only time they seem to offer an advantage is if you are going to be driving a lot of city miles and sell the car before some part of the hybrid systems breaks.
