I have the 07 Civic Si and the collective opinion of practically everyone that has the same car (06 or 07), the drive-by-wire system is not only a step backwards, it is simply unsafe!! My local Honda dealer was useless in attempting to resolve my problem.
 
I am in my fifties and have driven a stick since I was 16 years old. So, I have some experience. After months of hoping I would "get used to this DBW system", I have determined like many others that this is simply a bad design. Many of the younger drivers who have the energy, know-how, and sense have smartly converted their 8th Generation Civic Si DBW system to a conventional cable setup.
 
Honda needs to step up and make this system right before someone unnecessarily gets killed attempting to pull out into high speed traffic. There is a petition that someone started on another forum and once again, I applaud that young man. I'm ready to join the movement until Honda can make us feel safe in these vehicles.
