I guess. But the one "sporty" thing they really noticed on the C43 with the stupid exhaust belch with each gear change. Sporty exhaust growl is great under acceleration but I couldn't live with the exhaust belch every single time it changes gear. That would get really tiring. Like the first time your kid does something cute it's fun. Then they proceed to do the same damn thing over and over for the next 12 hours and in no time it's driving you up a wall?

I also don't find the current merc stying (inside or out) very attractive but YMMV.
I would imagine, though, that you can control the amount of exhaust burbles and what not, by way of selectable drive modes. If you don't want that, just select comfort, or whatever MB calls it, and it's probably fairly quiet.
