Hey I don't know about you guy but when I drive my MX-3 (winter in Canada) with the heat on the windows always fog up even when I put it only on just the front window. My question is is this normal for the MX-3s or do I have a heating problem? Thanks

Open your window a crack and/or stop breathing so hard!
<p>It's that whole thing about being cold outside and being hot inside...

The thing is it doesn't happen when it start up the car and let it sit for a while but as soon I start driving it fogs up. This problem doesn't happen to any other car I drive.

Press the AC button b4 you turn on the heater or whatever, or try no breathing while you drive!!
And for the fellows with no AC, i am sorry, but leave the window open a tiny bit!

My Mx-3 does as well, but its not as bad as my parents 1990 626, overtime is condenses on the hatch, my mx-3 just fogs up<p>What i do is leave all fans off until the engine temp gets close to half way, and i turn on just the windshield defogger fan run full speed. What makes the difference is to get the air to come in from outside (you know, set the lever, the one above the fan speed lever, to the picture of the car that has air comming from the outside)<p>It makes a huge difference and my car only fogs up until i get warm/hot air comming out of the vents, and i dont have to roll down the windows, something i really hate doing in the winter. Sure, its not
as hot as if you were re-circulating the air inside the car, but it is in no way cold, after a few minutes i still find myself turning down the fan/heat. So the only fogging i experience is about the first 5 minutes of driving, even on the coldest days, but then again, this is my first winter with it.<p>BTW, i have no A/C so i cant do that trick...<p>About the breathing, its sooo true
