Right now, be prepared for a long wait unless you want an Automatic. Manuals are only 15% of the production, and few dealers get more than 2 or 3 per month. (That translates to one manual every 3-4 months). But you might get lucky if you're not picky about the color. I've waited since June 6th, though Sam got his in a month.
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.

I am not even in the market now. If I bought one it would be in a year or so at the earliest.
Got the Fit about two months ago. The only thing I don't like is the position of the gas, brake and clutch, as they are too close to driver. The M/T is giving me great mpg's (33-34) which is why I wanted a 5 speed. Handeling is supriseingly good even with the stock tires. Took a couple of pics today when I went for a ride in Mill Creek park near me.
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)
personally, I wouldn't tint them then...there is always the chance that they could fade or wear.
It's possible to just remove the tint if it gets faded or worn, right? I know it's not supposed to be easy, but I think it can be done. It's basically a film applied to the glass, is it not?
Mostly, it's just time consuming and messy to remove tint. However, it does take skill to remove the tint over the rear window defroster without damaging the lines.
