Hello:

I have this car as a second car and so I do not drive it regularily. How often do I have to drive it and be certain that it will start the next time (assuming I don't leave the lights on, etc.)? Once a week? Once a fortnight? Once a month?

Thank you in advance for your help.

If you're talking about the battery is draining overnite could be a short circuit in the electrical system or something is still on drawing power-glove box/trunk lite etc

Hello, rasmataz:

As far as I know it's not that kind of a problem. What I was really looking for was your idea of how long a new, modern car can be left without being driven and yet still capable of starting at the end of the period.

Thank you again.
