Radio? Eh? What's that? I just listen to Amazon music through my iPhone when I'm not groovin' on my fine exhaust note... ;)

These cars have radios, as in AM/FM?

So, what exactly do either of you consider poor reception?
I live in a major metro area and can get the larger FM stations between 50-75 miles away. I also don't have any problem receiving signals downtown.

Generally most of the things that can be done to improve reception are things car enthusiasts don't want to do. Bigger/ better antennas are the surest way. Most of the antenna "boosters" are useless garbage.

Personally I prefer the music I've loaded on an old ipod and leave attached in the center console. Just under 3000 songs there. The only time I have trouble hearing that is on the highway with the top down...

Yeah the reception does suck when I compare to my GTI and wife's Tesla. I mostly listen to the motor/exhaust or Apple CarPlay with all the music I have on iTunes.

That's all? I have ~7000 songs on a thumb drive

Since I have had both, I will say the convertible reception is better. Probably because it has a real antenna, where as the coupe combines the AM/FM and satellite into the shark fin.

Will try some AM stations, thanks!

The reception sucks. 700 WLW is less than 20 miles away and it fades in and out with lots of static. This is a 50,000 watt station. FM is almost as bad.

Repeating OP's question, is there a fix.

I guess we are the odd (old?) ones that do not use their phone etc to listen to the music/news etc

I would trace the antenna and make sure that the cable is not loose or that there isn't any damage to the cable going to/from the unit and antenna bubble.

I don't listen to any AM/FM at all either - strictly Sirius via stream from mobile or Spotify stream or personal music d/Lee to the device and again stream via BT.
