Review: 60484 Rides Gaming Car

The set in this review is from a new in 2026 City sub-line called Rides.  I think I've heard the term "Baby Racers" being used for them though.  I thought it might have a few interesting parts worth reviewing, so let's take a look.
 

Box.  MSRP is $9.99
, for a $0.16 Price per Piece.

Instructions.









Microfig.






Parts 1.  Plates, Printed Tile, Large Jumper, Corner
Tiles, Tiles w/Studs on Ends, Transparent Round
Tiles, Double Studless Slope, Grille Tile, Round
Tiles, Spoiler w/Base, Corrugated Brick, Clip
Plates, Wedge Tile, Transparent Lightning Bolt,
Transparent Windscreen, and Minifig Steering Wheel.

   



Parts 2.  Mudguard Bricks, Wheels, Brackets, Printed Tile
w/Studs across Center, Mudguard Plates, Axle Plates,
Translucent Brick, Large Cheese Slopes, Translucent Plate,
Bar Bar Holders, Plates, Wedge Tile, and Translucent Cones.

Build.  IO Escort Frigate (2Rpd+d8/2W)
[Systems are Dark Bley and Color Tagged.].

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)  
(The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have
  parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +5 (B+).  The chibi microfig is cute, the printed parts are nice, but the PpP is awful.
