Because of lack of parking space I had to move my 924 rather far away from where I live. 
As a result I only drive it once or twice each 7-10 days. 
I wonder if any of you know what is the minimum use our cars need to keep running perfect. 
I know car companies have this item figured out but I donīt know the correct answer

Twice a day! 
Seriously, if the car sits for two or three days at a time, there shouldn't be a problem.

Once or twice a week or so is not too bad. The important thing is that when you do drive it that you get everything up to temp; especially the oil. This usually takes a bit longer after the water reaches operating temp. This will drive out moisture and other combustion byproducts which will quickly degrade the oil if the car is only driven on short trips.
