Is the Sun Mountain Three 5 a decent bag?

Currently I use a big Titleist cart bag on a Speed Cart but my van broke down this week so I'll be driving my Miata for awhile and I can't fit both easily.

I'm kinda cheap so I like to walk my local course and was thinking of getting a stand bag with good carry straps. Well as luck would have it some guy on Craigslist won a 3/5 in a bar and flipped it for $20. This bag retails for $180 and I scored it for only 20! Still has the tags on it.

So should I resell it or game it?

Is there currently a far better carry bag available? Ping Hoofer or SM Four 5 perhaps?

Thanks.

Edit: Sorry, not sure how I posted this in the club section and not the bag forum.

was going to ask about fitting a bag in the trunk of a miata since im thinking of buying one, but as it turns out, google is my friend.  either way, this topic is of interest to me.  my callaway bag is starting to tear up, and i need a good light carry bag.

Cart or carry bags fit OK in a Miatas trunk providing you remove the driver and nestle it in by itself. A second bag will fit nicely behind the seats with the top down but be careful if you have a glass rear window under that soft top.

    • Okay, I had these two assumptions wrong. That would be my premise for hitting driver. I promise I'm not high.. lol. Fair enough.

    • Wider than most fairways, yes (thus why I don't hit 100% of my fairways), but most holes I play have 65+ yds between hazards (or areas where I can't easily advance my ball to nGIR) so the majority of the time when I hit driver I am able to find it and have a reasonable look at the green.  That would not necessarily be the case on this hole, especially because a mishit driver brings those left trees into play.   PGA Tour players average 2.82 strokes to hole out from 40yds in the bunker and 3.15 strokes to hole out from 60yds in the bunker.  2.82 strokes to hole out from the fairway is like 110yds and 3.15 strokes to hole out from the fairway is like 190yds.  Now granted I would only have that 50yd bunker shot 1/3 of the time, but it's still a VERY difficult shot especially for amateurs.   Haha trust me I love chasing birdies, but I'm averaging 2.78 birdies per round this year so that's not my issue, I need to make less bogies (5.2 per round) and doubles (0.42 per round) 
    • Vishal, what are you doing here? PGA Tour players are about 65 yards wide, often 70. Huh? A 50-yard bunker shot is one of the toughest shots in golf. Are you okay? 🤣
