Compression

Okay since the car is brand new I would highly expect good compression. I had my car on a slight hill and what I do is put it in first and turn it off then pull the E-brake. Today before pulling the emergency break I realized that car made noise as the cylinder slightly moved with the car rolling in reverse down the hill and in first gear. Is this an issue and should I be concerned? Does this mean my car had bad compression or any other thoughts? Thanks.

Are you referring to brake compression and a bad master cylinder?

Cuz if you are talking about engine compression, then if I were you, I would trade the car and get something with good compression like a Bugatti Veyron.

The answer is it doesn't matter. Parking brake, and turn the wheel towards the curb according to whether you're on an incline or decline.
