Not sure of the battery capacity on an import, but the UK model has a 48Ahr I, along with lots of others have had the battery changed for a 60Ahr. Not a complete cure for the problem but a lot better.
I now use a battery "conditioner" which trickle charges and automatically switches on and off as it senses the battery voltage drop. It can be left on all the time if you're away. Mine is the "AccuMate 6/12" - well worth considering.

I would look for something left on. Boot light perhaps.
My car regularly sits for a week without any problems.

have you tried running with your sidelights on all the time?
Some people have had problems with the smart alternator not charging the battery unless there is sufficient load.
