Not to incite panic

...but you might want to peer up into the rear strut towers and/or peel away the interior carpeting to check for rust in this area. It's a frequent rust area and probably the only potentially dangerous zone susceptible to rust in these cars. If it gets bad enough (which thankfully isn't very common) it can possibly fail there and this would not be something you'd like to happen at speed.
Again, not trying to prevent you sleeping at night but if you've got rust in one area you might like to satisfy yourself that the rear strut towers are sound. If they are, the rest of the car can practically turn to dust around them and you shouldn't have much other structural stuff to worry about.
