The only drawback was the automatic (I prefer manuals).
When I was buying my current car, I tested an automatic because it was the first one I saw in that body style and I wanted to know how big it felt to drive.
When it came time to buy, I insisted on a manual, and you'd have thought the Amazing Two-Headed Woman had wanted to buy a car. The salesman had never met a female who likes to shift, I guess.
I just don't feel like I'm driving when I'm behind the wheel of an automatic.
