I would say that the drawbacks for me are:

Price, by a long shot. I have an expedition backpacking tent that will out perform any rooftop tent out there and fits under my drivers seat with room to spare.

Bulk, you either get top heavy or have to add a trailer (but I like the trialer idea) but I add more cost.

The advantages are:

Set up time, my backpacking tent is small but setting it up is a small job, but in bad weather everything is soaked by the time I can get into it.

Comfort, I do think this would way more comfortable.

They LOOK AWESOME.

Level "ground" everytime.

All that said, i wont even look at one for the costs right now.
