Puff of white smoke after start up?
Is that something that I should worry about? Did ya experience that too with your car?
Perhaps it's just condensation?

from what i can remember i think that is normal, due to a cold start in the morning, does it happen after every start or just after the first start of the day?

If the weather is kinda cold and the car hasn't been started for a long time it would probably do it. If it stays smoking after inital start then i would look into it.

It does that time to time on my first start.. Weather wasn't cold at all yesterday. Didn't see any smoke today though. I guess it's normal
