The best AC I've had in a small car was the ACHV in a Suzi SX. The car was slightly larger than the Fit and had 2 liter engine. Cool within a mile (or warm, depending on need).

welcome to my world in south fla

Although it doesn't tell me how much of an improvement you can expect by tinting just the side lights and the rear window. You may need to tilt the biggest piece of glass, the windshield! But of course you can't drive safely with a tinted windshield.

Not only is the windshield the biggest piece of glass but the top of the dash board that is under the windshield, is the hottest surface of all the surfaces inside the car. That thing gets painfully hot.
