If you are in retail insurance, then
1. Midlevel Buick
2. Camry or Avalon
3. Chevy Malibu or Impalla
4. Ford Taurus

If you need AWD, get an AWD Taurus.
If you work handle commercial insurance, then Buick.

Conservative car...conservative styling. Cleanliness, 4doors

The fact is that you are still a kid. You need something that says "Company car issued to low level sales guy"
The car should not say something about you. It should say something about the company you represent.
Since it is insurance NO LUXURY BRANDS UNTIL YOU LOOK THE PART (meaning you look like you have been in the industry for 20 years aka. You are in your 40's)
Safe, conservative, low risk.
Gotta agree with Paul on this. I've been in this industry for a decade now and this is pretty much spot on.
