I seem to remember reading over at RPR that the panhard rod mount has rust issues. Yet on my 1984 Civic Wagon, that's the only spot that didn't rot out on me. And I've seen a 1st gen CRX that had the trailing arm area of the floor rot through and break. So even though they don't rot out as badly or as often as the Metros, I wouldn't skip a careful inspection of any critical areas.
