What have you done to your MX-5 today? (Part 2)

Long Aerials…

Just out of interest, what is the seeming fascination with short aerials on the MX-5? The original MX-5 had a long fixed aerial and in my mind this has become a bit of a “feature” of the MX-5. Mazda have retained a long aerial (maybe electric retractable) throughout its 35 year production. Many owners seem to dislike a tall aerial and change it to a short one. Just wondering why. I’ve got a 2024 ND and I’m planning to look to buy an original NA steel aerial to replace the plastic one as a homage…
