I had a 07 Matrix for a short time with drive by wire, and it sucked. Just a lack of control over what you want the car to do vs what it actually did throttle wise. Really only an issue when driving aggressive, I did find a boosted SVT at that time so I dumped the matrix. Now I have a '12 VW GLI again drive by wire and its quite responsive, I don't have many complaints. I imagine the new ford system is going to be on par with this. But like Ken said, drive one to know for sure.
