The Ford 2 litre is indeed better than the 1.6, but its all relative. In the grand scheme its still a troublesome unit.
It is indeed capable of high mileages, yet for such a common motor few seem to do so.
There are never guarantees, there are always exceptions to the rules, but overall the best chance of a long and happy ownership experience is a Volvo 5 pot looked after by someone that knows what they're doing.
