Best Cars Under 15k?

I'm turning 16 soon and I have about 17k saved up. I have insurance and gas money planned out, so I will spend 15k or less on a car. I searched through YouTube, but they only recommended older sportier cars, but I want something more simple and newer. However, I'm not a big fan of Toyota camrys and Honda Civics, as I'm not a big fan of "family cars." (Also, my parents have both of them). I prefer something like the Chevy Malibu or Chrysler 200. Any suggestions for cars? I prefer something 2015 or newer.

What ac compressor should i buy?

My car compressor has failed for my honda civic 2006 and i'm in need of a replacement. Does buying at autozone give me an advantage, despite the prices being $250+ or should i buy one online for 100+?

Should I buy this used car in this situation?

I'm thinking of buying a 2003 Honda Civic used car from a seller online. The car is $400 but needs new brakes, new wiring, and some different things. I went to a few mechanics and they said it would cost about 3000 to repair. Should I buy this car at this price or pass?

Can I still drive my 2007 Honda Civic?

I have a 2007 Honda Civic that I just bought used from a private seller. Being the idiot that I'm, I trusted the seller and long story short, 2 days after finally purchasing the car, check engine light came on along with IMA light. Freaked out took it to autozone and the codes read P1570 (battery module individual voltage problem) and P0A7F (battery module deterioration). I'm assuming this has something to do with the hybrid battery but I could be wrong. Honestly, I don't understand what these codes really mean. Did a lot of research but I'm not getting the answer that I need/looking for. My main, most important question is can I still drive this car with no problems until I replace the battery? If so, how long roughly? And what is actually wrong with the car (is it the hybrid battery or the regular battery)? I know I won't get a more specific answer until I take it to a place like Honda for them to really figure it out. I just want to know what I'm up for/dealing with to get a better idea. I'm planning to drive to school on Wednesday (3hr drive) and kinda want to know if I'll make it there without the car stopping on me. I've been driving for a while and haven't had any problems at all. I plan on taking it in to check up but just not right now. Please, serioud answers only. I don't need a lecture that I should take it in and how it was a bad choice to buy from a private seller and blah blah blah. Trust me, I learned my lesson.

2001 civic overheating?

I have a 2001 honda civic 1.7L SOHC VTEC. I changed the timing belt, water pump, radiator w/fans, thermostat, head gasket, but the car is still overheating. Main issue I'm having that is noticeable is that coolant keeps on bursting out of the radiator like a volcano; (bubbling) with the fan kicking in. It doesn't cool down. Any help will be appreciated.

Passenger airbag off?

My mom hit my 2011 Honda Civic on the rear bumber. It was just a small scratch but since then the Passenger Air Bag off light has been on. Is there a way to fix it or should I take it to be repaired?

Added (1). My bad, it said Side Airbag not passenger.
@Gary it's a small garage and it was an accident no fraud, no insurance claim is being made and it's a small dent.

2002 Honda Civic Radio Stopped Working?

The factory radio in my 2002 Honda Civic lost all power randomly out of no where. I was trying to set the clock, and I was pressing and holding the "6" button, and then it just shut off. The anti-theft light does not blink. I was thinking that it could be the fuse, but so far every fuse problem I have seen has said that the anti-theft light does blink when the fuse is broken. Could it still be the fuse? (#8 in interior fuse box) Or is there something else? If you have had this problem in a 2001-2005 Civic, please let me know!
