What the 737 sometimes does is forget to switch to flare, which is something the pilot monitoring should call out but usually is just an "oh sh*t" moment. Haven't seen it on the NG though except in the simulator.

Other than that the older ones usually ended the landing at 4 to 6 feet, the NG does it pretty good and the fail operational ones do it nearly perfect every time round and usually much calmer than most manual approaches.
