To add, if you only do short journeys then there will always be alot of condensation and water building up in the exhaust.

If you do longer journeys then very little water will build up with less "steam" coming out the back.

And, a "short journey" car will have an exhaust system wearing out way before its time due to being constantly damp. Exhausts rot from the inside after all.

Hi all

just a quick note, today i was going the hill i normally go on 4th gear with 1400rpm and car pulls itself. Not today, it was kind of lacking power to go up and i had to change to 3rd gear, also i can hear some kind of whistling through the vents. I just got bad felling about this car.
