hello and welcome to the forum :y,steam from the exhaust is normal when cold but should subside after a run.If there is no coolant loss don't worry about it

really nice car had a 52 plate vectra 3.2 gsi which i sold a while back and regretted it . seen this advertised locally by a old guy who is emigrating and got it very cheap . unmarked leather full service history and mint silver paintwork . think it possibly needs a wheel bearing but apart from that the car drives extremely well

Observe the exaust gasses on a windless day steam will disappear very quickly smoke will hang in the air. Chances are it's just steam :y

Hello and Welcome

My previous 2.6 and my current 3.2 both produce lots of vapour from the exhaust, so don't think you need worry! A good run and getting up to running temperature usually sorts things out  :y
