Make sure your vents are pointed at your windows and you don't have recirculate on.
That's probably your problem, you put it to interior air... You're just recirculating air and your breath is adding more and more humidity and water into the air. Then when the air touches the cold window, it instantly condenses and turns to water / fog.. |

Actually, the Yaris heats up quickly due to the small engine having to work quite hard to keep it going. Had no problems with mine in -25C/-13F weather recently.
+1 check the recirculation switch and point air to windows. |

yea, when you want to defrost you always need air from outside. inside air will always fog up your windows big time.

Although to be honest the temperatures here in California are much much more mild. What's always worked for me is to either point the air at the windshield and use the AC (so the air going to the windshield matches the windshield and no condensation is created) or the heater (so the air hitting the windshield is evaporated instantly). Both work well for keeping the windshield clear. |
