Shrug. Condensation occurs on the interior side of glass when the outdoor temperature is cooler than the interior temperature, causing the glass to act a condenser for the higher temp and higher humidity in the car.

I've had condensation in the car, particularly during heavy snow and rain, and when I've been driving for a long time with multiple passengers inside the car. I run the defogger and compressor, blower high with outside air. It goes away.

Absent any pooling water (i.e. improper draining), I'm not sure how Nissan could have done anything different.

I just bought my 2013 Versa Sedan S. I love it with the exception of the fact that I live in MN and any days below 40 degree F, I have to have the defroster on so hot just to be able to see because of the fogging windows. I look around and none of the cars around me are suffering the same fate. This has to be a design flaw. There is no smell of antifreeze inside the cabin and it doesn't seem overly humid in the car. Its really frustrating.

i had the same problem and i did a little research. what i did, and it fixed it, was the slide at the bottomof the center dash; i moved the setting to change the airflow from recirculating to fresh air intake

I had an identical problem here in Idaho.
Then I saw that the lever that provides for mixing outside and inside air was all the
way to the inside position. This is exactly opposite of where I prefer it to be.
Once moved to admit as much outside air as possible, the problem disappeared.
