I currently run a 2.0 CR (110 BHP) in my Yeti. As previously mentioned it is much quieter and smoother than the older PD engines, although lacking a bit of the low down "shove" synonomous with the PD engines.
Mine has used 0.25L of oil over approximately 7K miles and is currently averaging 46 mpg (50% urban / 50% high speed). The best I have seen is 53 mpg, although I'm sure the aerodynamics of the Yeti hold it back at higher speeds.
I am aware of the DPF regenerating (higher tick over) approximately every 350 miles, although have yet to have any warning lights come on. I understand the CR engines are more suited to the DPF, whereas the older PD units, especially in the higher output variants, were more problematic.
I also ran the 1.6 CR (105 BHP) in a Roomster for 10K miles. This was a much rougher unit, which was reluctant to pull from low revs and was noticeably less refined than the 2.0 unit. This returned very similar MPG to the 2.0 in my current Yeti (mid 40's MPG and a best of 52mpg). I did hear that the new owner had managed in excess of 60 mpg on a long run, so maybe my driving style is to blame.
Again I had no DPF related issues with the 1.6 CR, other than being aware it was regenerating from time to time.
A relative has a new Audi A6 2.0 CR with the 174 BHP variant of this engine. This has very similar charateristics to the 110 BHP unit in my Yeti, although engine noise in the Audi is somewhat better insulated than in the Skoda. Again no particular issues with excessive oil usage or the DPF. This car doesn't have a dipstick though and relies on a sensor, which displays the oil level on the infotainement display. This A^ is a big car and returns mid 30's urban and high 40's extra urban.
