Considering a Vantage as a replacement to my R8 V10+.
Always considered Astons a bit stuffy and old man at the Golf club types of things, but the Vantage seems a bit more leaning towards us ASBO sorts.
Anything to look for with them?
Considering a China Grey one which seems to be a bit marmite over the traditional blacks and metallic greys.

Depends on what year / model Vantage you are looking at but not sure stuffy is the word that comes to mind looking at Aston these days and not for some considerable time.
Don’t think I would call my GT8 stuffy paticularly.
Compared to your R8 I doubt any Aston will be as reliable but think niggly issues rather than major although if a daily that might be an issue for you.
I bought one of the last R8’s in the UK in carbon black full spec and it’s amazing although the noise of that V10 with sadly gpf fitted isn’t a patch on any Aston I have owned.
Looking at your other thread not sure comparing to Mac’s is that easy either.
My V12S ( previous shape ) was China grey and I specced from new and loved the colour but you’re right in that it’s marmite although the same is true of Audi’s Nardo and Porsches Crayon etc.
My wife loves Nardo though and her recently picked up RS4 replaces her 3 both in that colour.

Can you get golf clubs in an Aston ? Always considered Astons a bit stuffy and old man at the Golf club types of things, but the Vantage seems a bit more leaning towards us ASBO sorts.

Yes to the clubs. Not a single issue with my 2020. Color is subjective but I found the front splitter,side skirts and rear bumper look better when they blend in with the rest of the body color. Same with the rims. For me,the Xenon grey did the trick. You won’t be sorry if you get one.
