Hyundai Accent's are damn near unroadworthy when it comes to misting up - i`ve never known a car as bad for it.

Recirculation doen't work because all the soggy wet air goes around and
around. The outside air, being cold, is able to carry less water
anyway, and what there is gets sucked out by the aircon. THEN you heat
THAT and it's ultra dry - a lot drier than air sucked from inside the car.

Which bit of "I don't have aircon or recirculate." in the OPs post couldn't you understand ?

Hmmm.. tell that to all the trees around here, leaves went yellow weeks ago its December tomorrow and they're still up there.
A common cause of this sort of problem is if the vehicle has a 'pollen filter' fitted. Basically they are very similar to a carb/injection system air filter, just a bit bigger and are usually found by the air intake for the ventilation system. The car manual should mention one on the service schedule if it has one, typically they are supposed to be replaced every year or so. They can normally be picked up at Halfords for less than a tenner for popular makes.
You would be amazed how much condensation you can get with an old filter that hasn't been changed for years. In one of my previous cars I couldn't be arsed to get a new one so just took it out altogether, the difference it made was incredible - the damp feel and condensation completely dissapeared within a few weeks.

It's a public forum, others who have the same problem may well have aircon etc. I posted that I didn't have aircon to prevent an inital round of "have you got aircon" posts.
Windows open a crack at night (and during the day) has helped a lot. Mind you, it hasn't rained for a week so there could still be a leak somewhere...
No pollen filter on this car, my old Mondeo had one, or rather, it didn't have one where it should have done; this let water in.
