In the space of just 3 months, so much already has been written about our unexpectedly fun-to-drive Mazda2, about how well it rides on the highway, about its excellent fuel economy, about how well it fits into our cramped world, and how simple and honest its design is. I couldn't help but notice that there's a thread through all these Mazda2 entries that has struck a chord with me recently.
Sufficiency is the lack of scarcity and the lack of abundance. Sufficiency is neither going without nor stuffing your face until you feel sick. Sufficiency is being happy with exactly what you've got–nothing more and nothing less. To me, this is the quality of the Mazda2 that each staff member has written about in his or her own way without knowing it.
