Is a Kia Sportage a reliable car?

I am considering purchasing a Kia Sportage, but I have heard mixed reviews about its reliability. Can someone with personal experience give me some insight on this issue?

In my experience, the Kia Sportage has been a very reliable car. I have owned mine for 5 years now and have not had any major issues.

I have owned two Kia Sportages and both have had numerous mechanical problems. I would not recommend this car for its reliability.

I work at a Kia dealership and have seen many customers with issues regarding the Sportage's engine. I would suggest getting an extended warranty if you do end up purchasing one.

I have only had my Kia Sportage for a few months, but so far it has been very reliable. However, I would recommend keeping up with regular maintenance to prevent any potential problems.
