Fast sedan, truck, or SUV? Such silly words to have in the same sentence. Try a coupe kid.

What I mean by fast is something above 120kph some of my friends drive a car not able to reach above 120kph. Did u really think I'm going to buy a 1000hp car as my first car?

Your friends' cars can absolutely reach 120kph. You're clueless.

Civic and Mazda 3 are good options but don't have AWD (well some newer Mazda 3 trims do) however if you drive proper and not like a toban you'll do just fine without AWD, especially with your roads, just get good winters to put on it. Basically Any car manufactured in the past 40 years will go above 120, my NA6 Miata can. Having something smaller like a sedan will be easier for cities since they're smaller with better visibility so easier for parking and maneuvering when some idjit inevitably changes lanes into you without a signal

You will not get a fast car as your first car as it will end up in a ditch upside down. Reconsider your options and realize how much insurance costs for somebody your age.

I said fast car not sports car fast. People my age are getting cars that not able to go like above 120kph. I meant 150kph fast

My 93 Miata can go 150km/h, my first car was an 04 civic that could get to 180 also you're in Toba you have lots of four lanes and wide open straights you don't need something that can be excessively fast for passing on 2 lanes between hills etc. Tobans

Literally every single new car for sale in Canada can easily go 150kph.

Bro just, not even gonna go on with this shit
Glarmj@reddit
What are you talking about? Literally any car can go above 120.

Price check insurance before you look at the WRX/IS 300 type cars. That will really cut into your (your parents) budget. Honestly, look for 4 cylinders, Japanese, (Not Nissan), no turbo or junk that will kill your insurance, AWD. Used Rav4, Camrey, Impreza, Forester, Legacy, Outback, Nissan Frontier (the only Nissan I will ever recommend).

Insurance is cheap in MB. My brand new WRX was $20/mth more than my Honda Fit.

Honda Fit. I've had 350,000 reliable kilometers, absolutely top tier visibility when driving, great gas mileage, versatile storage.
We'll be getting a second one once my wife needs a car.

Mazda 3/Civic isn't AWD but considering all your requirements: -2010+ Subaru, 2009 and below have the infamous engines -New Camry has AWD, and it's a Toyota (and it's fast which is uncanny) -Canada has the CSX Type-S exclusively, not AWD but it's a hell of a car
That's all that comes to mind. You can get an AWD Honda Fit and mod it if your budgets that high, stock chassis is rated for racing.
