The only reason it could be a felony is when a habitual traffic offender with a suspended license operates a motor vehicle. Most other cases are misdemeanor.

I guess it must depend on what state you're in. I know for a fact that it's a class C felony in Oregon. It doesn't depend on whether your license is suspended or whether you've committed previous traffic offenses. It's not a traffic violation, it's a theft charge, so at least your insurance won't go up!

Yes, but it depends on the nature of that felony. In most cases you can still buy auto insurance if you have a felony record. However, if your felony record involves a motor vehicle such as Vehicular Homicide where you have a record of using a vehicle as a weapon, then it is not likely any insurance company would be willing to insure you.
