I have the same condensation problem with my 850 wagon. The problem is worse after we've had a few recent snowfalls. The snow gets tracked into the car, where it accumulates on the floor, melts, and raises the humidity level on the interior of the car.

My car is equipped with ecc (electronic climate control). I don't ever use the recirc setting, so I don't think this is the cause of the problem you describe. Further, I understand that the a/c operates all the time, removing condensation from the interior of the car. Even so, I still must resort to scraping the interior of the windshield some mornings before backing the car out of the driveway. When practical, I also drive with the passenger window cracked open a little to release some of the humid air. Finally, when too much moisture accumulates, I get out the shop vac to dry up the floor trays and carpet.

Have they had recent snowfalls in NH, and has snow accumulated inside the car? This might account for the problem you brother is experiencing.
