A techie is never without his or her gadgets. In choosing a car or an automobile, while others look for the sleek design, he or she looks for the ultra cool features and everything automatic. A techie usually doesn’t care how much money he spends as long as he gets what he pays for. On the other hand, there is another type of consumer. He is no other than the “wise-spender”, he or she looks for affordability and functionality rather than the cool features. Honda however, has a car suitable for both types of users. It is the Honda Accord Euro R, it has a very powerful motor and uses advance technology. It is also very affordable so it is suitable for both the techie and the wise spender.
