I am about to get a new timing belt on my car because my old one broke, I was wondering would it be safe after I get it fixed to drive long distance approximately 3 hours?

I hope you got it fixed. My info says the 2.0 is an interference engine, so when the belt broke, there could have been damage, because of the valve to piston clearance.

I wouldn't just put a belt on it, without checking everything.
