Where the Taisor does better

Seat comfort

Taisor: Generally positiveFronx: Generally negative

Taisor: “The seats are very comfortable, good side bolstering... when you get in and sit, it's like sitting on a nice sofa, good cushioning”

Fronx: “जो रिक्लाइनिंग एंगल भी है वो अगर थोड़ा सा बेटर होता आई वुड हैव रियली लव्ड इट। (If the [rear seat] reclining angle were a bit better, I would have really loved it.)”

Rear seat space

Taisor: Mixed reviewsFronx: Generally negative

Taisor: “Headroom for me is fine although anyone taller than me will find headroom in short supply at the back”

Fronx: “In the back seat is where the Fronx struggles — space is not the best. The roof is also tapering down, so headroom is a bit of an issue if you're over six feet. Legroom is just about enough. Under-thigh support, again, not the best.”

Ride comfort

Taisor: Strongly positiveFronx: Generally positive

Taisor: “The ride is good, too -- because of its tall suspension it's even pretty good over bad roads, and even large craters and bumps, it takes them in its stride”

Fronx: “yes you can feel it stiffer... well an uneven road... you can feel all of the texture you can feel the roughness underneath you so you know it is stiffer but it doesn't really crash and bang so in that sense it's really quite nice”
