Excessive water vapour at idle

[IN10CT]

I've noticed quite a bit of water vapour from my exhaust at idle (below about 10 - 15 degrees C). No coolant smell or anything, and I've not noticed it while driving. Should I be concerned or is this normal?

I should have searched for this one first. I have noticed it most after restarting the car after being parked for a couple of hours. Someone mentioned condensation burn off, and this sounds like a plausible explanation. I'll check the coolant to be sure though.

it's common due to the large size of the exhaust systems in these cars taking a long time to heat up
