    White smoke

    What does it mean when a big cloud of white smoke comes out of the exhaust when I start up the car? It's started to happen to the Impreza.

    In my experience, that generally means it is burning coolant

    ^ Agreed. Get video on next start up when it's cold.

    Could just be thats it's condensation from being humid, but worst case would be blown headgasket or cracked head.
