If you are trying to justify a car based on your whole wad of cash at the end of the month, that is (IMO) bad math. $300 CDN is only $245.12 USD per week. Thats $12,746.24 USD or $15,600 CDN per year. I don't know what the poverty level is in Canada, but in Alaska, you would be below poverty level.
I suggest that you prepare yourself for a higher paying job through school. Save what you can for the future while enjoying yourself while you can. You probably cannot support yourself on your income, let alone a family. BTW, be thankful to your parents for the benefits they are providing to you. Free rent, food etc.... well it isn't free.
As for a nice quick reliable vehicle, look for a Toyota Tacoma with a 3.4 V6. Mine runs like a banshee, is reliable, and holds its value.
