My experience has been largely positive. I enjoyed driving it around Subang Jaya roads today, turning people's heads. It feels like driving my Myvi Gen 3, but with an elevated point of view. I had to remind myself not to take corners the way I usually do with the Myvi, because it's so fun to drive. Thankfully the speedometer is huge, because I sometimes fail to realize I'm going too fast (I'm a law abiding citizen).
A friend of mine who drives the Australian-spec HR-V was very impressed with it, considering it's a Perodua. He didn't even mind the tiny rear seats although he's 6 foot tall, saying it's like sitting in his old Kelisa. I think he just misses his old car.
As for complaints, only minor stuff like some slight turbo or CVT lag, but I'm guessing I'm just not used to driving it yet. The rear seats are indeed too small for adults, but it's still fine for my young kids. The larger boot space compared to the Myvi is a much appreciated trade-off.
