It's optional on 1LT and 2LT, but standard on 3LT. Either way, you have to pay more for it.

For those of you that use it as a DASH CAM – do you have to manually start recording every time you restart the car?

No. But it's fun to have and know you have it if you want it. Especially to record something on the fly. Pretty cool.
if you track the car? Many in here have said there are other options for less that do more and more accurate.
weighing options, would be low now that Apple car play and around auto cover nav duties imo.
but if you get 3LT or LZ it's standard so moot point (as others have stated).

I bought a GoPro 2 years ago. I used it 5 times and it has been in the cabinet since 2012.

Wish I had it (PDR)as I use a dash cam and have for five years and it can become a pain.

Yep - you've got to start it up every time you start the car.
