Una semana con el FL5 Civic Type R en calles urbanas llenas de baches y caminos secundarios reparados nos permitió enfocarnos en el control de la suspensión, la dureza al impactar con las ruedas y el ruido de la suspensión—aspectos que diferencian un coche de rendimiento que se puede usar a diario de un juguete de pista.

El Civic Type R 2024 cuenta con un motor turbo de 2.0 litros y 315 hp (K20C1), acompañado de una transmisión manual de seis velocidades y amortiguadores adaptativos, montado sobre llantas de 19x9.5 pulgadas envueltas en neumáticos Michelin Pilot Sport 4S de 265/30R19. La suspensión es de tipo McPherson en la parte delantera y multibrazo en la trasera, con una estructura rígida y refuerzos adicionales. El peso en vacío ronda las 3,200 lb sobre una distancia entre ejes de 107.7 pulgadas. Nuestra evaluación abarcó 220 millas de pavimento en mal estado, juntas de expansión, tapas de alcantarilla hundidas y baches cortos y agudos, además de secciones de autopista de concreto.

Las temperaturas ambientales fluctuaron entre 58 y 74°F. Ajustamos la presión de los neumáticos a la especificación de la puerta y probamos todos los modos de los amortiguadores (Comfort, Sport, +R) en rutas idénticas a velocidades controladas (de 20 a 70 mph). A bordo iban dos ocupantes y aproximadamente 50 lb de equipo. La experiencia de manejo sobre asfalto agrietado mejora notablemente en comparación con la generación anterior del Type R.

En modo Comfort, la carrocería se adapta con un solo movimiento vertical sobre parches irregulares y se asienta rápidamente, con mínima oscilación posterior. Se siente la textura de alta frecuencia a través de los asientos y el volante, pero se filtra en lugar de ser molesta. En Sport, hay un ligero movimiento vertical adicional sobre las elevaciones cercanas, mientras que el modo +R proporciona un control aún más ajustado, aunque a costa de un movimiento más constante en los baches de la ciudad. La dureza del impacto del volante es donde el neumático Michelin de perfil 30 llega a sus límites.

Los baches de bordes afilados y los cortes de utilidad hundidos generan un golpe inicial pronunciado a 25-35 mph. La buena noticia: el control del rebote de los amortiguadores es ejemplar, por lo que hay poco rebote o bote adicional. El modo Comfort es el ideal para las calles desgastadas por el invierno; el +R puede sentirse brusco en impactos consecutivos. Cambiar a un paquete de llantas/neumáticos de 18 pulgadas suaviza notablemente el primer impacto sin sacrificar la precisión de la dirección para el uso diario.

El ruido de la suspensión está bien contenido para un coche tan orientado al rendimiento. Los impactos fuertes se registran como un “thud” apagado en lugar de un golpe metálico, sin chirridos de bujes ni ruidos en la parte superior en nuestra unidad de prueba. El eje trasero transmite un breve tambor sobre las juntas de los puentes con neumáticos fríos, pero no resuena. El ruido de los neumáticos PS4S en superficies con grava gruesa es el sonido dominante en la cabina; en general, el aislamiento es inferior al del Golf R, pero más silencioso y menos estruendoso que un GR Corolla en pavimento similar.

Veredicto: Como coche diario en carreteras en mal estado, el FL5 es manejable si dejas los amortiguadores en Comfort y mantienes velocidades razonables sobre bordes afilados. Destaca en minimizar las oscilaciones posteriores, pero el golpe inicial se mantiene firme gracias a los neumáticos de serie 30 y los bujes rígidos. Si tu ruta está llena de cráteres, considera un juego de llantas/neumáticos de 18 pulgadas o compara con el Acura Integra Type S para un poco más de comodidad y aislamiento adicional.
