Honda has created an interactive map of the best European driving roads to celebrate the end of Civic Type R sales in Europe, after nearly 30 years in 2026. Killed off by EU regulations, as have several interesting sporting models from other manufacturers, production will focus on other markets where regulations aren’t quite so strict.

Featuring over 120 spectacular routes across 25 countries, the interactive map enables drivers to locate thrilling roads, iconic drives and some hidden gems and enjoy their own road trip. This bespoke guide was created by Honda, using roads and routes supplied by motoring experts, driving enthusiasts, as well as Civic Type R owners and fans across Europe.

Labelled as ‘Honda Dream Drives’ with routes that stretch from the far north of Scotland in the UK to the south of Spain and each has been carefully selected to deliver everything from brilliant bends to breathtaking views. Adventures can be explored by theme – scenic, coastal, cross-country, or mountainous – in any chosen country and the experience is enhanced by compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on mobile devices.

Featuring iconic routes such as the Stelvio Pass in Italy, Transfăgărășan Highway in Romania and the North Coast 500 around the top of Scotland, to lesser-known roads that have been championed by like-minded locals. Such as the stunning run through the volcanic landscape of Káli-medence in Hungary, and the sinuous mountain roads around Pianezze, Italy, the home of the annual Marca Rally motorsport event.

Find Europe’s best driving roads with ease on hondadreamdrives.com, a dedicated microsite that is accessible on mobile or desktop devices. Users can search for a specific road – if they know its name – or find inspiration by country, route type, drive distance or duration. Once a route is selected, location details are provided, including any potential hazards, or seasonal closures that a driver could encounter. Users can then select to navigate to and along the road of their choice with a direct link to Google Maps or the standard map function on their chosen device.
