I don't anymore since I have a subaru, but when I had my old 2 door pontiac coupe I used the soft racks. I wouldn't have any specific fear of putting racks on a small car, the concern would be more about wind/air resistance and handling of the car with a 70lb yak on top. Some days i used to drive over the top of the hill and the wind would be blowing 40+ and that kayak on top would shake the cr*p out of my car. So it really depends on what you're doing, where you're driving, etc.
