l am getting a 2005 model, around 10,000 miles in bothPeugeot 206 (1.4 l , manual , 5 door)andford fusion (1.4 2 , manual, 5 door) for similar price........which is good deal ?
(l am looking for a reliable small family car.)

These r both very reliable & dependable cars. However the peugeot does not have many service facilities in this country. So, unless u have one near by that u can depend on being there in the future, or if u r a mechanic, l would not by the Peugeot. The fusion has lots of service facilities, Parts r more readily obtained. Many independent shops can service the Fusion. As a result parts & service r less expensive for the Fusion. If money & time to wait for parts & repairs is not a concern then drive both cars & pick the one u like to drive best. If money & time cannot be wasted then pick the Ford Fusion. l know u will enjoy driving both cars. Be sure to have them checked by a mechanic before u buy.

l doubt there will be much difference in reliability, the main question is what you want out of your car. The 206 will be the quicker and better handling car and the Fusion looks pretty roomy for it is size.
