This vehicle has been a proven performer. With the proper maintenance I have driven 83,000 miles without any repairs. (I forgot I did replace the horn.) It is a joy to drive and very comfortable on long trips. I would take this vehicle anywhere without worry.
this vehicle sucks

We took a cross country trip in May this year from Florida to California. We drove to San Antonio, Carlsbad Caverns,NM, through Roswell and into Albuquerque. From there it was onto The Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam, then Las Vegas and finally Coronado Island off of San Diego, Calif. The Kia Sportage EX took those mountains roads like it was made to do so. It never overheated during our trek through the deserts either. Came back along I-10 without a hitch. I'd do it again in this car without a worry.
