The much higher than normal speeds on landing.
The way they sometimes slam into the runway as if they missed the 50 foot countdown. Thankfully I don't fly SAS and the undercarriage holds up, even when it bottoms out.
The one wheel touch and goes
The general buffeting

In comparison I have flown the same route many times in 195s, 737s RJ100s RJ145s, with no undue worries.
