Default 2010 A5 fwd CVT hesitation from start

My wife has a 2010 A5 cab with a CVT. I drove it the other day and noticed it has one heck of a hesitation when starting from a stop. She says it has aleays been like that. After you push the gas, it takes a second before the car starts accelerating. This is extremely nerve racking on hills, as the car will roll backwards. Is this common for the CVT? FWIW, the car has 32,000 miles.
Thanks!

Btw, I've searched a lot but didn't find anything described exactly like this.

I remember my 2003 CVT doing this. I guess it's still a charcteristic. Annoying, but you adapt to it.
