Is the Kia Sportage reliable for long distance travels?

I have heard mixed reviews about the reliability of the Kia Sportage for long distance travels. Can anyone provide personal experience or advice on this matter?

I have owned a Kia Sportage for the past three years and have taken multiple road trips with no issues at all. I highly recommend it for long distance travels.

I had a Kia Sportage for a year and it broke down while I was on a road trip. I now stick to using it for short distance trips only.

I'm a car mechanic and I can say that the Kia Sportage is a reliable option for long distance travels. Just make sure to keep up with regular maintenance.
