Why would you want to trade a great car? I own a 2000 Honda Prelude sport shift automatic and I love it. The manual is not that much faster then the auto and if you do a lot of city driving then the automatic is what you want. Also you can shift with it if you want to have a little fun and don't have to worry about the clutch. Don't let people tell you otherwise because it's a great car whether it's an automatic or a manual. I love my 2000 base auto lude and it's what I wanted and it's a fun car to drive. It has great handling, VTEC engine, rare, 200hp stock and better looking then a lot of other cars out there. I would keep it because it's a great car and you will have fun with it but if you really want a manual then get it but it's not going to be much different unless you actually love driving stick shift and like changing gears all the time. I bought my 2000 lude clean all stock from the dealership about 2 1/2 years ago with 105,000 miles on it and it's what I wanted and I love it. So keep it and have fun because the Honda Prelude is truly a drivers car and you will like to drive fast in this car and you will get a lot of compliments. My 2000 lude is my first car and I wouldn't drive anything else. Post a pic of yours and here is mine.

Keep it. The manual version isn't much faster.
