What gets five stars?

I see you give cars "star" ratings - what cars get "5 Stars" from Honest John? Am searching for a 5 star old automatic luxury petrol car I can cherish - without air suspension (springs only please?) and may have some investment value in the future. Will only do about 500 miles per annum so want the best paintwork and not a rustbucket?

Very few get 5 stars. A Mondeo IV does. A Jaguar XF does. A Jaguar XJ does. But as they get older and problems develop they lose stars. So there should not be any older cars with 5 stars.
