Why is the console so big?

I've abandoned my hopes of getting a Transit Connect after a test drive. I'm 6' tall with size 13 feet & my right foot has almost no space to maneuver when I sit in the driver's seat. The center console takes up about 30% of the space in the front row for reasons I can't determine. After sitting behind the wheel for 40 minutes my entire right leg goes numb & starts cramping, since there is only one position I can sit in when I'm driving, unlike most other vehicles.
Does anyone know just what is inside that #$%!! console that justifies its size?
