Yeah, currently my wife an I live in a 2-bedroom apartment that's about 970 square feet and it's okay for us for now, though we wouldn't mind some more storage space as well as more cabinets in the kitchen.  And I agree about cars in the US too.  I've actually been a little frustrated when I've looked for a new car to buy, and the options for a regular car that's not too big seems to be shrinking.
