Yes.

That is a beat-up Toyota Echo sedan with an off-road LED light bar on it’s mismatched hood...

Taken at the local Walmart, as if that were a surprise.

(Excuse the crappy flip-phone quality pic!)

No Echo has ever had any cred.

It was one of the last truly honest cheap economy cars. It weighed like 2,200lbs, was available with 3 pedals, got great fuel economy, and was cheap to buy/run. It did what it was designed to do just fine. Nowadays when a Corolla can easily cost mid-20k territory, the Echo is a relic from a lost time by comparison.

Mitsubishi Mirage.

This is like a picture of what too buy if you have no vehicular taste and think a car should cost 15K or under when new...

If it’s a manual then yes.

Insert “decently made” into my previous statement and the Mirage falls away. But yes, the Mirage (and I guess the base Versa) is close.

The Echo was most certainly not decently made.
