smoke at startup

Hello, brand new guy here. We may be buying a 06 supercharged cobalt. It has a few minor issues but it puts out a puff at startup. That kinda bothers me so I thought I would ask here and see what s up. Thanks, Bill

Probably condensation. Most cars have that happen on cold start up. Welcome future owner! Check out the site. Lots of information to absorb.
