Clean your windows! If there dirty / greasy they steam up a treat!!!!
Then dont breathe until the car is warmed!

Clay the windows, that'll get rid on any unseen contaminants, and treat them with rain-x.

steamy windows are from the moisture in the air condensing on the glass, air-con removes the moisture from the air within the car
simples!

You can get small, rechargeable dehumidifiers that would do the job too. I've not tried one in the car, but they do work well, so should do the same in the car too.

Took my Puma 2/3 minutes when departing from work last night. That was thick and it was minus 7 outside.

I find it doesnt leave a greasy film like window cleaner does... it may look clean but it is not squeaky clean... therefore the condensation sticks!
Also let the car warm up then turn the fans on!...
If you put the fans on full before its warm it blows cold damp air around therfore mists up!
