1) I run the blower fan on low on the front defrost setting. Even without heat, it at least keeps my breath off the windshield.
2) I almost always have a window or two cracked open, even when it's -15C / 5F. Needless to say, I'm always dressed warmly when I drive the ForkenSwift in the winter.
3) I park strategically in the sun to defrost selected windows if they ever do start to get coated
The only time it's really a problem is when I take my nephews snowboarding at the park. Afterwards, 3 of us piling back into the car means all windows open or things frost up inside pretty quick.
The reason I can tolerate all this nonsense is because the longest one-way trip the car typically makes in the winter is about 6 km / 4 mi.
Basically all the snow / moisture I bring into the car on my boots stays in the floor mat until I shake it out .... or spring comes.
