Default Downsides of AWD

None of the dealers in my area stock RWD. I need a car now. What are the disadvantages of AWD if that is the only choice I have ?

Fuel economy, maintenance will now require rear differential fluid, heavier car, limited ability to run a staggered wheel size configuration,...That's all I can think of so far.
