The first-generation Alfa Romeo SZ is a distinctive coupe with an emphasis on driver involvement. Its appeal depends partly on how much you enjoy taking an active role behind the wheel.
In the 3.0 MT coupe, the Alfa Romeo SZ engine runs on gasoline and drives the rear wheels through a manual transmission. You select the gears yourself, so heavy traffic means frequent clutch work, while slippery roads call for smooth accelerator inputs to help maintain traction.
