Después de seis meses y 10,500 kilómetros en un Volkswagen Golf GTI 2024 (DSG), volví a revisar los puntos de contacto más usados del interior—los refuerzos de los asientos, el volante, los acabados en negro piano y los interruptores—para ver cómo han resistido el uso diario variado.

Auto de prueba: Golf GTI S 2024, DSG de 7 velocidades, motor turbo de 2.0 litros (241 hp, 273 lb-ft) con diferencial limitado electrónico VAQ. Realizamos un recorrido de 28 millas de ida y vuelta, dos trayectos de 400 millas por carretera, caminos rurales de fin de semana y un autocross local. Los neumáticos eran de serie, 225/40R18 para todas las estaciones, manteniendo la presión en 36 psi en frío. Las temperaturas ambientales variaron entre 38 y 92°F.

El rendimiento se mantiene constante: el DSG hace cambios de marcha de forma impecable y el e-diff entrega potencia de manera efectiva al salir de las curvas cerradas. Nuestro mejor tiempo de 0 a 60 mph con un cronómetro GPS fue de 5.8 segundos en una mañana fresca. La economía de combustible promedió 30.2 mpg (mixta), subiendo a 34.1 mpg a una velocidad constante de 70 mph. El ruido en la cabina se midió entre 70 y 71 dBA a 70 mph sobre asfalto suave; la suspensión es firme pero se adapta bien a los baches de la ciudad.

Los laterales de los asientos (tela de cuadros) muestran un desgaste ligero, acorde a lo esperado. El refuerzo exterior del asiento del conductor tiene un ligero desgaste y un brillo suave por el contacto frecuente; no hay deshilachado, costuras rotas o colapso de la espuma. El refuerzo interior se mantiene en buen estado, y el asiento del pasajero está prácticamente como nuevo. El ángulo para entrar y salir es importante; deslizarse sobre el refuerzo provoca más abrasión que entrar y girar.

Un quitapelusas limpió fácilmente el desgaste, y un protector de tela aplicado de forma periódica evitó que los derrames se absorbieran. El volante y los controles están en buen estado. El aro forrado en cuero ha desarrollado una ligera pátina satinada en las posiciones de las 9 y 3, sin transferencia de tinte, puntos planos o levantamiento de costuras. Los controles del volante capacitivos siguen siendo completamente legibles; la sensibilidad no ha cambiado, aunque todavía ocurren entradas accidentales en baches pronunciados.

Los topes del stalk del volante se sienten precisos, y las paletas DSG no muestran desgaste en los bordes. Los interruptores de las puertas y ventanas (plástico mate) hacen clic de forma positiva sin tambaleo o desgaste de pintura. Los acabados en negro piano son el punto débil. El marco de la consola central y el bisel del sistema de infoentretenimiento han adquirido microarañazos y marcas de remolino a pesar de la limpieza cuidadosa con un paño de microfibra húmedo.

La luz del sol revela una ligera neblina, especialmente alrededor del cargador inalámbrico y los portavasos. También aparecieron pequeños arañazos cerca de la base del cambio debido a un llavero. El área del deslizador táctil del clima se ha mantenido funcional, pero su superficie brillante se mancha fácilmente. Sería recomendable aplicar un PPF mate o un vinilo como medida preventiva; usar un forro suave en la bandeja reduce la abrasión de objetos pequeños.

La durabilidad general después de 3 a 6 meses es sólida: los laterales de los asientos muestran solo pulido cosmético, el volante y los interruptores son robustos, y no hay ruidos ni molduras sueltas. Si la apariencia a largo plazo es importante, considera dedicar tiempo o gastar un poco para proteger las piezas en negro brillante; son las que envejecen más rápido. El GTI sigue siendo un compañero de viaje satisfactorio, con un verdadero ritmo en caminos rurales; elige los asientos de tela por su transpirabilidad y resistencia al desgaste, y considera envolver las áreas brillantes de alto contacto desde el principio para mantener la cabina con un aspecto fresco.
