Save up a bit and buy a cheap beater (e30/36, Miata, etc) to satisfy your want for a 3rd pedal. I love my AT FRS but missed shifting occasionally sk went and got a 2005 MR2 Spyder to go along with it. Best choice I could have made (granted this was me gaining debt when I think you should just buy something outright given the circumstances or wait and buy a $10k car to build your credit)

I think everyone is missing the point that the op is debt free of this car. Mommy and daddy bought it for him and he's not happy with it. I'd be very happy with it if I was in his shoes. Bet not many folks in college drive brand new cars, but they probably do. College has definitely changed. Our parking lot was full of beaters except for a few rich kids, who also had boats attached to their cars lol. I'm pretty sure mom and dad would smack him around if he traded that car without their knowing. Sure the insurance is in their name. My question, why not buy a manual in the first place

definitely not the best place for financial advice as I am reading this...IMO I say keep it and enjoy it then when you're out of college then get something else. Just enjoy, no point in trade in headaches and getting hurt on low appraisals, and then a new payment. just rock what you have.

keep the car and build up your own credit once you've graduated from college. you're fortunate to have parents who bought the car for you. you'll have a car payment even though you do a trade in for a new one. the car will always be there. be responsible and grateful that you have a new car. not many college age kids out there get a freebie new car. then again if your parents are loaded with millions of bucks to burn then that's another story. just saying.....

"Mommy and daddy"? Do you even know how I got this car and the reason why It was automatic in the first place? I had no credit as a college student, needed a car because my car broke down, took a loan out and used my moms credit to buy this car. I have fully paid for this car on my own, so don't treat me as an inferior just because I had my mom sign for me. I got an automatic is because I assumed when I was living with my mother, she would need to use the car too, but in reality, she didn't. I do not live with her anymore, got bored of the car and decided to trade it. But after reading these posts it does seem extremely tedious, and I will probably wait until I graduate college to do anything.

My apologies. I thought you were just another spoiled brat.
Trade it in on older one, you should experience no loss

I would still say trade it man, even add little money. Because you are missing all the fun. My past few years were driving an automatic and i think its a waste.
