Question for all you (self-styled) experts out there. 
When my Fit comes in, I'm considering tinting the windows. My concern is the longevity. Since I'm planning on turning this car over to my daughter as her first car (she's 4 years old now), I would rather not put on something that won't last, or that I can't either remove and replace easily enough. So, does window tint look OK after 12 years or so, and if not, is it a big deal to remove or remove/replace?

tint isn't too hard to remove. i've done it before.
i don't know about tint past 5 or 6 years.. the longest i've owned a car with window tint is 6 years..and the tint still looks fine. lifetime warranty at most larger / reputable location helps as well

A friend of mine just bought a Fit and I got to check it out this weekend. I was impressed for sure.
I had been thinking of buying a 2-3 year old Civic sedan as a daily driver, but now I would like to swing a new Fit.
Awesome buy!

But it is a really nice little car. The handling is what got me. It's definitely the crispest handling you'll get for the money.

There's a show on Speed that modified a Fit and put huge freakin' brakes on it.
As for tint, i have some going on 7 years now. They did have to redo the rear window (compound curve), but like Mocky said, the good ones have a lifetime warrenty.
