No first-hand experience, but my sister and her family have had two Prius Vs and loved them, put ~200k miles on them (lots of midwest hockey mom driving). When she had to replace them because of sheer old age, she went with hybrid RAV-4s and loves them, too.
I really love the practicality of that size and am sorry they discontinued it. I couldn't find a used one when I needed to replace my car in a hurry.

It does seem like car-height small wagon-shaped cars are coming back into fashion, though probably nothing as reliable as the Prius at this point, and not much on the used market yet.
