Would it be worth it to trade in my car? Or not?

Hey guys so I'm just dealing with my car here that I purchased on September 2015. I loaned out a used 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT for $8995. And I have down $2000 , my payments ended up being $180 monthly for 4 years . The car is a little nice and all but it's not in my comfort zone , I like it and I don't like it , I don't feel well sometimes and certainly I don't feel secure in it , I live in Aspen,Colorado so it snow like hell here. And I just don't feel secure its skids a lot doesn't get traction , the accerleration feels real lazy, it's just not at my satisfaction the only reason why I got it and I know I maybe dumb because of it is because my dad kinda forced convinced me to get it because it was cheap and good to be my first dealer car to loan because it won't be so expensive but never asked me if I like it. And obviously I didn't say anything cuz I didn't want to make him feel bad. But I want to get my self an AWD car to feel much more secure and be in my comfort zone. What would anyone suggest ?

You wont get the $4,000 back...

Only fix it if you intend to keep it. Then the $4,000 get you 4 more years of driving, and might be money well spent.

Because it's got an engine knock it will be hard to sell privately, or it will come back to bite you when the buyer finds out you sold then a lemon.

Personally I'd go and talk to some decent car dealers and see what they can offer.
