Mines been slow to demist in the morning from new, even with aircon on. Last year I got this dehumidifying bag:

I keep it on the dash overnight and it seems to work quite well. It doesn't stop misting completely, but it has certainly helped. You just need to dry it out on a radiator every month or so. Best solution I have found  :happy2:

^^^^ This.

My A/C is never off, I just adjust the temp' accordingly to my (or the occupants) requirements.

May be a silly comment - but are you sure your Air con is working properly? hHas it been regassed/ checked recently? Could be just not clearing the moisture as required.
Though even when working fully I don't find the Golf aircon as effective as previous cars.

mines been misting up pretty bad too but theres no damp in the car anywhere. I always have my blowers set to the windscreen position and never out of the dash vents towards you. The other day i switched it to them because i was freezing and ive not had mist since! Ive switched it back to the windscreen position and all is good, absoloutly no mist now, mabie some moisture was in those vents or something? give it a try it might work for you too
