I have a tiny 98 Escort and it has tie down attachments on all four sides.
I don't use a roof rack, I only use the foam blocks that come with simple
roof kits.  I also run a line through the back windows and over the top of
the kayak.  I transport a 17' Perception Eclipse using this method every
other weekend 300 miles each way and never had a problem.  Well, I'll have
to say I do feel a bit silly with a kayak 2 times longer than my car but oh
well :)
