I cant actually use it, but its clearly good quality

Its good quality construction and I cant see this breaking on anyone without them doing something horribly wrong, simple screw in design makes it easy to install, but I cant actually test its reception because my miata's antenna base has the old antenna stuck in it and I still havent gotten a screw extractor, but considering with a miata you can get usable reception with just the wire going to the base and with the base uninstalled, this should be plenty within at least any city in florida…

Pros
  • Very easy install. I don’t notice any reception issues as I don’t use my radio at all lol.
Cons
  • May reduce the value of the car

Great quality, but not for every car

This Antenna is actually quite well made and would be excellent on the Miatas that it supports. However, my Miata has a original power antenna and the Stubby Antenna will not replace it without doing some modifications to the hole where the antenna exits the trunk.After discovering this for myself, I returned the Stubby Antenna and purchased a plug for the antenna hole in my car and also bought a hide-away marine antenna which is primarily for boats but works wonders in a car.I wish I could've…

Pros
  • ✔ RECEPTION IS KEY: If you are curious about reception; read the reviews. Although some folks have had trouble, it is actually really uncommon. If you are not completely satisfied with your Stubby, we make return super simple
Cons
  • Rain may disrupt signal strength

The Stubby was a perfect replacement antenna.

My 2018 Miata arrived without an external antenna. The seller was clueless as to what became of it. Local auto stores sold replacements to fit any and all cars. Well, all of the adapters didn't the Mazda's short socket. I made it work with a "D" faucet washer. It worked fine until a car washer's whirling wheels of straps broke it off. I needed a flexible short whip like I had on a '91 Miata (same threaded socket.) I found Stubby and from the picture on revain, it looked like the threaded anchor

Pros
  • Easy to install and I can't tell the difference in reception.
Cons
  • Hard to adjust once installed

Quality feel and design

I love the size and design of this antenna! Right from the box, I could feel the quality of the product. It definitely had more weight to it that the stock one, and in return fells more sturdy as well! The reception on my radio hasn't changed at all. I haven't had an issue with losing stations or having static. Just unscrew the old antenna and screw this one in and you're set. The look of it on the car is a definite upgrade from the oem one that made my Miata look like an RC car lol.

Pros
  • Installs in 30 seconds. Works as well if not better than stock antenna.
Cons
  • May affect GPS navigation

Very Satisfied good for me

2017 Fiat Abarth 124 Spider Scorpione (otherwise known as a "Miata in a nice suit")First impressions:Ordering: Not much info on if it would fit my car - took a chance on the Miata one since they're essentially the same car. Seemed a little expensive to me (but my wife will tell you that EVERYTHING seems expensive to me).Delivery: Arrived very quickly after I placed my order (2 days, i think). I was surprised at how small it was compared to the stock antenna. It seemed very substantial…

Pros
  • Perfect fit, so far no audio problems I’ve only had it about a month.
Cons
  • May need to be replaced frequently

Works flawlessly on my 2006 Mazda Miata

I bought this Stubby antenna to replace a cracked original Miata antenna. I was a bit concerned about the reviews because some people mentioned a loss in reception. I figured I'd give it a go since revain has an easy return policy. Well, I'm pleasantly surprised that this antenna is just as good as the stock antenna when it comes to reception. Perhaps if you live in a rural area or a city with weak radio signals it could cause diminished reception but I'm in a medium sized city and all my…

Pros
  • ✔ MADE IN USA: Each Stubby is made here in the US of A. They are machined and powder-coated in good ol' Portland, OR. Even the boxes are made here!
Cons
  • May interfere with other car electronics

It works. good for me

Fits my 19 Miata GT fine but the reception is slightly worse. This is to be expected as it is rather on the short side. Needs frequent cleaning.

Pros
  • Durable construction ensures a long lifespan
Cons
  • Needs frequent cleaning

Mazda 3 Stubby in my review

The product looks great and will fit well under a utility roof rack. However, the radio reception is not as clear as the factory antennae. My favorite stations have a bit more static and feedback as well as an echo. The reception should be improved and the product would get a solid five stars. I am very pleased with the antennae overall, but I would like to see the same level of clarity I am used to. If I was an avid radio listener, I would probably be more disappointed, but it works perfectly…

Pros
  • Available in a variety of colors to match your car's paint job
Cons
  • Does not improve radio station selection

RC Car no more for my opinion

Looks much better than the stock RC antenna on the Miata. Reception is a bit poorer than stock, but Miata is a noisy car anyway so I don't mind a so-so radio.

Pros
  • Perfect fit for Mazda Miata 1992-1998 models
Cons
  • May not meet local regulations

Great cheap mod! best in my review

I can't comment on the sound quality because I never use the radio, but this looks so much better than stock! That's my review!

Pros
  • Sleek and stylish design enhances the look of your car
Cons
  • Does not offer weather warnings

Great value in my review

I bought a universal antenna for my sons car from a local auto parts store . It was not very universal. I found this one on line and it had great reviews so I decided to try it. It went on with no problems and it looks great. It was a perfect fit for his car.

Pros
  • Offers a more modern and updated look for older Mazda Miata models
Cons
  • Not suitable for off-road driving

Looks Great, Works Great

This is Amazing for the Following Reasons:[1] Fit[2] Appearance and Color[3] Reception[4] Comparison[5] InstallationFIT:This product is a perfect fit for the 2017 Mazda Mx-5.The stock OEM antenna stands over 15 and 1/2 inches tall; This stubby antenna is less than 4 inches !APPEARANCE AND COLOR:This product perfectly matches the color and the size of the base to which it mounts on the car.RADIO RECEPTION:I live in a small city. The radio reception is the same as the OEM version with zero loss…

Pros
  • Helps to reduce wind noise while driving
Cons
  • Not effective in high-rise areas

Good Stuff! So Easy.

Bought this for my 2009 Mazda 3 over one of those "universal" ones revain has, mostly because I'm a little bit of a dumb*ss and wasn't sure if I could figure out the nuts and bolts of the other product. I had my broken old antenna switched out in less than a minute for my new stubby. All i can say is, I wish I bought this years ago!

Pros
  • Designed by car enthusiasts for car enthusiasts
Cons
  • Could lead to vandalism

I got a Stubby. best in my review

.for my MX-5. This Stubby really updated the look of my 14 year old roadster. It looks so much better. Twisted the old one off and twisted this one on. FITS PERFECT, LOOKS AWESOME AND IT'S CHEAP. Why are you still reading? Order it!

Pros
  • It works as expected with no issues.
Cons
  • Reports of damage to the car's antenna base

Reasonable priced and incredibly stylish!

Reasonable priced, sleek, and stylish! I haven't tested the radio quality but it looks amazing and was even smaller than I expected. My only fit, that could be a problem for someone, is that it's slightly darker than the base of the original antenna. But if you can overlook that small detail, it's great. I've only had my car for about a month, nothing was wrong with the antenna but it was longer than it needed to be. This product caught my eye and it's great so far. I'll update if the quality…

Pros
  • Helps to improve the resale value of your car
Cons
  • Could limit visibility when driving

Great product on my review.

I never write Reviews but hands down this is a great product. It made my reception much better as well. It took my one minute to install and boom it looks great, and is functional. Great upgrade would recommend to anyone!

Pros
  • Compact size allows for easy parking and garage clearance
Cons
  • Antenna cable may be too short

Very happy with this antenna

Product meet my expectation, but there was two problems, first I received the wrong antenna, so I have to return it at Kohls for an exchange and the correct antenna arrived today but the amazon envelope was open, thanks god the item still inside and not damage, overall seems like I get better reception the this new antenna and it look very nice too.

Pros
  • Since it's compatible with various Mazda Miata models, it's a versatile choice for any Miata owner
Cons
  • Could cause interference with other radio frequencies

Metal! Durable! Nice!

Do you like being impaled by the stock whip antenna when waxing the MX-5? No! So get this. I installed mine in minutes with my BARE HANDS. It works perfectly, no stations seem weak, and I enjoy it every time I look at the car. Also, this is worth having if you use a car cover. This should have come with the car from factory.

Pros
  • Great Quality, gets great reception, absolute great buy
Cons
  • Sound quality us less than I expected. Will seek to find a better product

Good fit for Mazda 3

Original antenna cracked and exposed the wire. This was a 5-second fix. Has worked for several months and survives car washes.

Pros
  • Very small and good looking.
Cons
  • Does not come with installation hardware

Perfect fit: my feedback

My stock antenna was stolen and I got this as a replacement. It’s smaller, so the reception is not as good, but it’s not very noticeable with FM radio. Perfect fit and it looks better than stock.

Pros
  • No complaints. Reception is as good as the stock antenna. Definitely recommend.
Cons
  • Limited range
